Senior Investors

Have you experienced financial abuse?

Financial abuse is the illegal or improper use of an elderly or disabled person's funds, property, or assets1. It is estimated that financial exploitation costs seniors at least $2.9 billion annually, and that 55% of financial abuse is committed by family members, caregivers and friends2.
