The Office of Elder Fraud & Assistance is charged with addressing all forms of financial exploitation and coordinating related services for the entire elder population of the state of Alaska. Their goal is to ensure that every elder victim of financial exploitation who wants assistance: 1) Receives it from existing sources, and 2) Where other assistance is unavailable, to provide individual civil representation. I will be researching Elder Fraud laws and legislation in other states with the hope being that there are other states that have more progressive elder fraud laws that better protect the elderly. Ultimately, the goal is to work with legislatures to change Alaska’s Elder Fraud laws for the better.
