Financial capacity is a functional ability critical to independence in everyday life. Due primarily to cognitive aging and dementia, older adults experience declining financial skills that place them at risk for poor financial decisions and exploitation by others. These events can have tragic and devastating consequences for older persons and their families. This public lecture highlights the risks to financial capacity that occur in later life and discusses possible early warning signs of decline that can alert older persons and their family members to take needed protective steps. Attendees will depart with an appreciation of the importance of financial capacity in the elderly, and of ongoing scientific and policy work in this area.
