Financial exploitation is a growing issue faced by older adults, and the effects of financial exploitation can negatively impact the physical health, mental well-being, and financial stability of victims. While acts of elder abuse may fall under various criminal statutes, civil attorneys are uniquely positioned to deploy legal strategies and advocacy to mitigate the effects of abuse and help older adults attain the remedies they seek.

This training will provide information and resources to help attorneys as they represent clients who may have experienced financial exploitation.  This training is being produced in collaboration with Justice in Aging, with informational resources from the National Center on Law and Elder Rights (NCLER).
