Under W&I Code § 15610.30, financial elder abuse occurs when someone takes, secretes, appropriates, or retains property of an elder for a wrongful use or with intent to defraud. California provides treble damages and attorney's fees for victims.
Warning signs include sudden changes to wills or beneficiaries, large unexplained withdrawals, new "friends" with financial access, unpaid bills despite adequate income, and reluctance to discuss finances. If you suspect exploitation, act quickly — assets can disappear fast.
Yes. Caregivers who steal, manipulate, or exploit elders can face civil liability for elder abuse, in addition to potential criminal charges. California law provides enhanced remedies specifically to deter this type of exploitation.
