Southern California Elder Financial Abuse Litigation
Elder financial abuse involves the illegal or improper exploitation of a senior’s assets or finance and is often done through deception, coercion, or manipulation.
Seniors are particularly vulnerable due to factors such as isolation, cognitive decline, or dependency on others for care. The consequences can be devastating, leading to significant financial loss, diminished quality of life, and increased dependence on social services.
Elder Financial Abuse Happens More Often Than You Think
The vulnerability of elders can be exploited by individuals such as caretakers, friends, neighbors, or even family members who harbor ill intentions.
Through a gradual process, they may assume control over crucial aspects of the elder’s life, including medication, basic necessities, and financial accounts.
Utilizing tactics such as deceit, isolation, and threats of abandonment, these individuals manipulate the elder into relinquishing their assets and monetary resources.
In the most extreme elder financial abuse situations, they may even fabricate new estate planning documents that favor themselves while disinheriting the elder’s other children or family members.
