Report financial exploitation of an older adult: next steps
Guidance reviewed 2026-10-11. Prepare a factual report of suspected theft, coercion or misuse of an older adult money or property.
Start here: Record the suspicious transactions, pressure or account misuse without confronting someone if that could increase danger.
Where and how to proceed: full steps and checklist
1. Is this for me?
Older adults, family, caregivers or others who suspect exploitation; adult-protection and criminal jurisdiction depend on the facts.
Service area: Oregon or applicable federal route; confirm venue and agency jurisdiction.
2. What should I prepare?
Some documents may be conditional. Ask about alternatives. Checkmarks are temporary and are not saved or sent.
3. Where and how do I submit?
Read the linked publisher instructions to confirm the receiving office, accepted submission method and current forms. This page has not separately verified those details. A county filter does not decide the correct court or filing location.
Timing: Report promptly, especially when money continues to be withdrawn or access to basic needs is affected. Recovery and court deadlines vary.
