Protecting the Vulnerable Senior
from Financial Exploitation

with Nurse-Attorney Cathleen Summers,
Co-Founding Partner, Generations Law Group

Thursday, June 24th
2:00-3:00pm via Zoom

In this presentation, we will discuss seniors who fall victim to scammers, unethical family members and even to themselves. We will review the characteristics and warning signs of a “vulnerable senior” along with examples of how each a perpetrator harms the senior and the associated negative effects. This presentation also covers how vulnerable seniors can put legal safeguards in place through pre-planning and steps during a crisis. We will also discuss community and other resources that are available.
