About the Presentation:
Approximately 5 million older Americans are exploited financially every year costing them an estimated $36.5 billion. In many cases, it is suspected that the victim suffered from some form of diminished capacity. The two goals for this presentation are to help you recognize the different types and signs of diminished capacity and to understand what financial exploitation is and be able to identify its many forms.
We will learn how to spot the “red flags” that may indicate attempts at financial exploitation and we will discuss the steps you can take to protect yourself, your family and your clients. It is my belief that creating or updating a personal financial plan is the first line of defense for protecting your assets and securing your financial future.
