Elder financial abuse occurs when someone steals money or other things of value from an older person. As people age, they may need the help of others to manage their finances and care for them.
Our limits are based on 125% of the poverty level. Iowa Legal Aid receives some special grants with higher income guidelines. Some of these grants allow us to represent or advise clients about specific legal issues, like taxes and foreclosures.
It can come in the form of unauthorized bank withdrawals, check fraud, misuse of credit cards, scams and theft of property. It is currently the fastest-growing form of elder abuse.
The elders personal belongings, important papers, credit cards, or identification documents go missing. Changes are made to the elders will that are unexplainable or made when the elder is ill or otherwise incapacitated. Frequent checks are made out to cash from the elders account.
If this is the case, their attorney-in-fact could help protect them against manipulation by monitoring their finances. Since an attorney-in-fact generally can also litigate on behalf of the principal, they may be able to take legal action to recover any assets your parent lost as a result of manipulation.

05:36 Evidence collection really is no different from any other crime, but photographic evidence seems to be most important in any elder abuse cases. Oftentimes, you cant do a good interview with the victim so thats why photographs and sometimes using video evidence becomes so much more important in these cases.
You need hard evidence to prove that the suspect exploited the senior financially. This could include bank statements, copies of processed checks, or copies of legal documents.
If you wish to report an incident of suspected financial exploitation of an eligible adult, please complete the Senior Financial Exploitation Reporting form, or contact us by emailing sfe@iid.iowa.gov or calling (515) 654-6600, option 5.
