Elder abuse can take on many different forms. Sometimes, elder abuse occurs as physical abuse at the hands of a family member. It may be emotional abuse. It may also take the form of neglect, failing to provide for an elderly or disabled person's basic physical needs.
In addition to many forms of physical abuse and neglect, elder abuse can involve economic abuse. It can mean abuse of a guardianship or power of attorney, when someone unfairly uses an elderly person's financial resources for personal gain.
When someone is taking advantage of an elderly or disabled person, an elder law attorney can help you take action. Working with a lawyer can help put legal protections in place to prevent further physical, emotional and financial abuse. But it can be critical to act quickly. Your lawyer will be best able to serve you when evidence is recent.
