PROTECTING YOURSELF AND OTHERS FROM FINANCIAL ELDER ABUSE
As the population of older adults increases, it is becoming more and more common to rely on family members, trusted friends and caregivers to help with our finances. Unfortunately, statistics show that most financial abuse is perpetuated by someone we believe we can TRUST.
There are practical measures we can put in place to protect our resources so we can avoid the stress and emotional duress that is a result of financial instability late in life. Our expert panelists featuring Elder Law expert lawyer Ann Soden and notary Alana Greenberg will outline best practices to protect ourselves and teach us how to spot the warning signs of financial exploitation. These experts will share what steps to take if you suspect someone you know may be a victim of this type of Elder Abuse fraud.
There is simply NO EXCUSE FOR ABUSE!
