Elder financial exploitation is one of the fastest-growing — and most heartbreaking — forms of abuse in Arizona. It often starts quietly: a caregiver, family member, or even a friend gains an elder’s trust… then slowly takes control of their finances or estate planning. Before anyone notices, the money is gone.

In this episode of The Berk Brief, Kent Berk explains how Arizona law protects vulnerable adults — and what to do if you suspect elder financial abuse. You’ll learn:

What elder financial exploitation looks like
Who can be held accountable — including fiduciaries
What red flags to watch for in wills, trusts, and finances
Why early action is crucial to preserving assets and building a case
How to get help if your loved one has been taken advantage of
