Elder and Vulnerable Adult Abuse occurs in multiple forms, from
physical abuse and neglect to financial exploitation. Because they generally have some savings
and other assets, seniors and other vulnerable adults make attractive targets
for exploitative relatives and loved-ones, scammers, and unscrupulous
businesses. Misunderstanding and unawareness of the issues, combined with the
shame and confusion of victims, means most elder abuse and exploitation goes
undetected and unreported. Advocates in Minnesota are recognizing the need for a
collaborative approach to address the multiple iterations of financial
exploitation. There is a growing
need for civil attorneys and other legal professionals to learn how to spot and
respond to abuse and exploitation.
Members of the legal profession need to join law enforcement, adult
protection and social workers, medical professionals, and financial
professionals in helping to both prevent elder exploitation and help victims
recover.
In this 1-hour presentation, a panel of Elder Law and Elder Abuse
experts and attorneys will gather to talk about these issues. They will explain and demonstrate the
problem and offer ideas about how private practitioners and financial
professionals can help address this growing social and legal
issue.
