Elder Financial Abuse
Elder financial abuse is the exploitation of older investors by brokers, advisors, or others who take advantage of their trust or declining capacity. FINRA rules give firms specific tools to protect senior investors, and losses can be recovered.
If any of this sounds like your account, the next step costs nothing: a free, honest evaluation. Tell me what happened or call (719) 783-0303.
Common questions
Elder Financial Abuse: what clients ask
What are the signs of elder financial abuse?
Sudden changes in investments or beneficiaries, unexplained withdrawals, new complex or illiquid products for someone who needs income and access to cash, and a broker or advisor who discourages family involvement.
What do FINRA rules require to protect seniors?
Firms must make reasonable efforts to get the name of a trusted contact person for customer accounts, and they may place temporary holds on disbursements when they suspect an investor 65 or older is being exploited.
Can a family member bring a claim?
A family member acting under a power of attorney, or as a guardian or executor, can often pursue a claim on the investor's behalf. The right approach depends on the investor's situation.
