There were more than a few questions on financial elder abuse on the California State Marriage and Family Licensing exams.

The financial perpetrators were described as adult children of divorce.

Also, chronic illness can be a thief in more ways than one. It not only robs its vicitims but also the caregivers who are caring for them. This may make financial elder abuse by caregivers more seductive especially with patients who are mean, stingy and abusive to the people caring for them.

Any seminar about financial exploitation of the elderly must include a discussion and warning regarding unlawful and abusive conservatorships.

The GAO released a scathing report in late 2010: “Guardianships: Cases of Financial Exploitation, Neglect and Abuse of Seniors”

Conservatorship abuse is a growing threat to the health and wealth of our vulnerable elderly and disabled - and our nation’s economy. Any vulnerable person is subject to this abuse.

Forewarned is forearmed!
