Short Summary
This section of the Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act defines ‘financial abuse’ of an elder or dependent adult. It outlines various actions that constitute financial abuse, including taking, secreting, appropriating, obtaining, or retaining real or personal property of an elder or dependent adult for a wrongful use or with intent to defraud. The section also covers situations where a person or entity assists in such actions or engages in them through undue influence. It further clarifies that a person or entity is deemed to have engaged in wrongful use of property if they knew or should have known that their conduct is likely to be harmful to the elder or dependent adult. The section provides a broad definition of ’taking, secreting, appropriating, obtaining, or retaining’ property, encompassing any deprivation of property rights, regardless of whether the property is held directly or by a representative of the elder or dependent adult. The term ‘representative’ is also defined to include conservators, trustees, attorneys-in-fact, and other individuals or entities acting on behalf of the elder or dependent adult. This section was amended in 2013 and became effective on January 1, 2014.
