Elder financial abuse usually arrives as a 'new friend', a helpful neighbour or a charming caregiver — and it thrives on isolation and secrecy. The warning signs are subtle: sudden account changes, unpaid bills despite money, a new 'advisor' who handles everything, fearfulness about money questions. This guide covers what to watch for, how to raise it without destroying the relationship, and the legal tools — powers of attorney oversight, joint accounts review, and reporting channels — that protect someone who may not want protecting.
