Elder abuse is the exploitation, neglect, or financial abuse, of a senior citizen, an older, or more vulnerable, member of society. For investigations by a private investigator phone 1300 966 103, email us at [email protected]. Licensed, experienced, discreet, private investigators to investigate for you.
Elder abuse is generally by someone known to the person, a relative, a carer, a member of the family, a person charged with looking after the affairs of a invalid, isolated, or person who is no longer competent. It can be the relative who is impatient for what they believe will be theirs when a person dies.
It can be the carer who magically becomes the
husband, or wife, of a person, isolating all others, changing wills, redirecting funds, having themselves declared both financial, and medical, controller. It can be the favoured child, who is spoilt, and
entitled. Some will even hide the relative away, and have others declared not available to see the person.
There are times when the old offence of 'forge and utter', fraud, is occurring. There are times when disputes arise in families over the
treatment of, or access to, a person; sometimes these disputes amount to
elder abuse. There are times when an external agency taking control is
the only workable option. If you suspect elder abuse, manipulation with
regards a will, or some subterfuge leading to the isolation of a person
not in control of their lives, or faculties, we may be able to assist.
Investigate early, and thoroughly, documenting all
aspects of your suspicion. We are experienced in elder abuse

The description 'Elder Abuse' covers everything from stealing as a servant by a carer, to serious financial abuse, misappropriation, neglect, and appropriation of property and rights. It generally involves some form of mental manipulation, or emotional blackmail, often bald faced lying.
The victim may not be competent to complain on their
own behalf; they may not even be aware. Where a person is isolated, and
told a particular version of the truth, they may truly believe what
they are told.
This does make things difficult, especially if they
appear competent, and rely on lies they have been told. If you suspect
elder abuse, especially exploitation and financial abuse, start taking
notes, start documenting what is happening, start talking to other
people to try and determine if it is in your imagination, or really
occurring. Start taking note of doctors names, dates, and incidents.
Sometimes it happens without family being aware,
occasionally the person is deceased before relatives and old friends
become aware what has occurred. Generally, without good evidence, the
Police have not interest. When it is time to investigate, contact a
private investigator to investigate. We are experienced in
investigation.
