Elder & Dependent Adult Abuse

Seniors and dependent adults are often vulnerable to financial exploitation. The sad reality is that the perpetrators are usually someone they or their families trust. Financial abuse can be seen in many different forms, from misusing funds to coercing changes in trusts or property ownership. If you or a loved one is experiencing financial abuse, our experienced attorneys at Holloway & Kimberlin LLP can help stop the exploitation and work to recover any lost assets. With extensive experience, Holloway & Kimberlin LLP ensures that families and individuals facing elder or dependent adult abuse receive the support, advocacy, and protection they need.

Understanding Elder & Dependent Adult Financial Abuse

Financial abuse occurs when someone in a position of trust or authority misappropriates,

controls, steals, or fraudulently obtains the assets of a vulnerable adult for personal gain. While

the exact definition can vary by state, the underlying principle is the misuse of power to exploit

someone who cannot easily protect themselves.

In California, elders are adults aged 65 and older, while dependent adults are individuals between 18 and 64 who have physical or mental limitations that make it difficult for them to manage their own affairs or guard against financial exploitation.

Elder abuse in California encompasses a wide range of harmful behaviors, including physical

abuse, financial exploitation, neglect, abandonment, isolation, abduction, or deliberate actions

causing pain, suffering, or mental distress to anyone defined as an elder.

The attorneys at Holloway & Kimberlin LLP assist clients with claims of elder or dependent

adult financial abuse. With experience and resources, they help ensure that vulnerable adults are
