Elder Abuse, Neglect, and Financial Exploitation Litigation
Instances of abuse, neglect and financial exploitation of the elderly and disabled have increased dramatically. Fortunately, Illinois has a statute called the “Elder Abuse and Neglect Act,” which gives specific legal remedies to elder abuse provider agencies to combat the abuse. The remedies available to these agencies include Access Orders, Orders Freezing Assets and Emergency Consent Orders. When elder abuse provider agencies are unable to pursue legal intervention in elder abuse, a number of legal remedies are available to individuals as well including Guardianship and Orders under the Power of Attorney Act.
