Financial abuse is when an abuser controls a victim’s ability to acquire, use, and access economic resources. It occurs frequently in domestic abuse and elder abuse situations.

Watch out for these elder abuse red flags:

1. Victim frequently gifts expensive items to abuser
2. Victim is missing financial documents, credit cards, and valuable belongings
3. Victim is unaware of monthly income or transaction history
4. Victim signs a loan
5. Victim writes a recent will despite being incapacitated or otherwise incapable of drafting it
6. Abuser’s name is added to victim’s bank account
