As a growing segment of our population ages, Elder Financial Abuse has proved to be a dangerous problem. Recently, Annex Wealth Management’s Director of Estate Planning Richard Behrendt wrote a compelling piece about elder financial abuse, giving helpful thoughts on how to recognize it, and why it’s dangerous to those we love.

“While not a new phenomenon, the number of reported cases of elder financial abuse have soared recently as the United States experiences a large-scale demographic shift to an older population. With an estimated 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 each day, a trend that is expected to continue for the next 10-15 years, elder financial abuse is largely a crime of opportunity.”

The article has recently been featured in the “Expert Views” section of Financial Advisor, a monthly publication which Financial Advisor delivers essential market information and strategies that advisors need to succeed in their increasingly complex environment.
