● Elder abuse is not restricted to physical and emotional acts; rather, it includes any act that exploits an elder’s financial situation.

● Financial exploitation of aged people in the United States has been reported by concerned family members, caregivers, friends, neighbors, and colleagues.

● This exploitation may be perpetrated by businesspeople, family members, caregivers, or individuals who actively target vulnerable aged people.

● Elder financial abuse may include unsolicited bank account withdrawals; the usage of possessions and property without permission; forging signatures; coercing seniors to sign a will, power of attorney, or a deed; fraudulent activity; and deceit such as telemarketing scams.

● Seniors who are isolated, unfamiliar with their financial affairs, have suffered recent losses, or have a physical or mental disability have an increased risk of financial exploitation.
