CLE on Suspected Elder Abuse

The American Law Institute Continuing Legal Education (ALI CLE) is presenting a CLE entitled, Suspected Elder Abuse: Helping Your Clients and Their Loved Ones, Wednesday, October 15, 2014, 11am – 12:30pm Eastern, online and by phone. Here is why you should attend:

You know something is wrong but what can you do if you suspect your older client needs help?

Unlike child abuse or domestic abuse, elder abuse, and its many forms, has not been at the forefront of the public’s understanding and perception as a serious problem. Many lawyers can feel like their hands are ethically tied when they suspect an older client needs help.  Learn what you need to know in terms of elder abuse and legal remedies available to your clients.

Join us as we discuss:

• identifying signs of elder abuse
• elder abuse during lifetime: physical abuse and financial exploitation
• estate contests: mental capacity and undue influence
• ethical considerations: what the lawyer can and cannot do
