Navigating Financial Fraud: What to do When Your Senior Client, Family Member or Friend is a Victim of Financial Fraud or Abuse

COURSE DETAILS

In this collaborative CLE program, the New York County Lawyers Association’s Securities and Exchanges Committee and Elder Law Committee unite to equip attorneys with the knowledge to assist their clients and loved ones to address financial fraud.

According to the FBI, millions of seniors are targets of fraud annually amounting to billions of dollars of losses. Criminals frequently view seniors as prime targets for scams due to their substantial retirement savings and tendency to trust others. They often take advantage of victims’ mental or physical challenges, as well as their emotional needs and vulnerabilities to achieve their fraudulent objectives.

Join our program with the nation’s leading elder law and financial services attorneys committed to helping you understand senior financial exploitation, the law, and best practices to protect your clients and loved one’s assets before or after an incident occurs.
