Your actions depend largely on the threat he is facing, real or perceived. If your loved one is the victim of a criminal act, you should contact the local police or sheriff immediately. For a detailed list of specialized government resources, including Adult Protective Services, click here.
Frequently the elderly are victims of a confidence game, shady transaction or even a scheme to change an estate plan. These transactions can frequently be reversed and sometimes assets can be frozen before they are forever lost. In these circumstances, you should also consult with an elder abuse attorney immediately.
