Elder and Dependent Adult Financial Abuse

RELEASE DATE:  JUNE 17, 2024
ESTIMATED DURATION: 80 MINUTES

Financial elder exploitation costs older Americans an estimated $35 billion every year. Too many seniors and adult dependents find themselves vulnerable to frequent financial exploitation and overreach. Credit unions can find themselves torn between their duty to preserve member privacy and their desire to protect vulnerable members from greedy exploitation.

You can do your part to protect the elderly by reporting suspected cases. This webinar will share your possible legal requirements as well as how to spot and prevent financial elder abuse.
