Older adults can find themselves the victims of abuse. Our speakers, Carrie Moulton and Roberta Robinson of FAST (Marin Financial Abuse Specialist Team) will enlighten and educate us on how to protect ourselves against the daily barrage of financial scams we must be aware and alert to.

 

A 2015 study asserts that financial elder abuse costs $36.5 billion annually. In Marin County alone, financial abuse cases make up 35% of all referrals to Adult Protective Services. Nationwide it's estimated that only 1 in 10 cases is ever reported. Carrie Moulton is a former elder law attorney and current director of fiduciary services at the Institute on Aging. Roberta Robinson is a retired Banker and former Treasurer of San Anselmo.
