Civil Remedies for Empowering Victims of Elder Financial Exploitation (December 11, 2019)
​

Webinar Recording

Additional resources mentioned during the webinar:
Model Civil Provisions on Elder Financial Exploitation
Taking Action: An Advocate's Guide to Assisting Victims of Financial Fraud

The civil justice system offers victims of financial exploitation powerful tools for seeking justice. However, opportunities are often missed because victims don’t know their options or believe they are unaffordable. Service providers are often unprepared to direct victims to the civil system.  In 2014, the National Center for Victims of Crime hosted the Elder Financial Exploitation Roundtable, supported by the Huguette Clark Foundation for the Protection of Elders, that brought together experts and advocates from around the country to explore remedies for exploitation. Among the group’s recommendations was to craft model elder financial exploitation statutes. Following the event, NCVC was awarded additional funds to oversee the creation of model statutes. 

This webinar describes the model statutes and provides participants with: 
  • Information about key strategies available to hold perpetrators accountable, prevent future exploitation, and help victims rebuild their lives through civil action;
  • Insight that can help victims navigate the civil justice system; and
  • Strategies for strengthening financial abuse protections in their states and communities. 

Panelists include: 

Laura Cook 
Director, Training & Technical Assistance
