Financial exploitation, which is also known as material abuse, is the misuse of senior’s money or property by others. It includes deceiving a senior, diverting income, mismanaging funds and taking money, property and possessions against a senior’s will. Adult children, grandchildren, other relatives, caregivers, acquaintances or friends sometime commit these acts.
Financial exploitation also includes identity theft and medical fraud.
