Financial abuse of the elderly is more common than we’d like to believe and it often goes unnoticed until it’s too late.
Whether someone was given access to a bank account or appointed as an Enduring Power of Attorney, misuse of funds can – and does – happen. We often see it uncovered only after a person has passed away, leaving grieving families with more questions than answers.
If you’re concerned about suspicious transactions, the estate may have a right to recover those funds. Early legal advice is key. Let’s talk.
