I live 200 miles away from my aunt, and Im concerned that someone is taking advantage of her finances. What can I do?
People who suspect abuse or exploitation can call either the Senior HelpLine or their local Elder Abuse Investigating Agency (see the list in the Directory) and discuss their concerns with someone. Unfortunately financial exploitation occurs; and Elder Abuse Prevention Agencies, working with the Illinois Department on Aging, conduct thorough investigations. For more information, see Abuse Prevention and Legal Services.
