Remember, do not:
- Accept personal care from anyone in exchange for assets or property without a lawyer or trusted person to act as a witness to the agreement.
- Permit anyone to keep details about your finances or property from you.
- Give out any personal information to people you do not know, especially via telephone.
Elder law attorneys are very familiar with these types of abuses (and many others!). They know what individuals can do to guard against them. Contact an elder law attorney to learn more.
