“Palm Beach millions stolen from elderly couple.” You DON’T want that to be the headline in any paper regarding any one’s parents.
Elder Abuse & Elder Exploitation
- Sadly, Florida has more than its fair share of elder abuse
- People with powers of attorney and access to checking accounts doing bad things
- Exploitation of the elderly is so important that the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office has its own professionals who handle this unique area
Financial Exploitation
- If you believe that someone is being taken advantage of by another, then contact law enforcement
- There may also be civil remedies which are available in Palm Beach County probate court
- But……….. how often do you stay in touch with elderly loved ones like your parents?
- Do you know who they socialize with?
- Where their bank accounts are?
- Who has the power of attorney
Q: Who is standing guard over your parents and protecting them?
