You know it is exploitation, it is complicated and time is of the essence, but what can you do and where do you go? In these types of cases, investigators and attorneys are challenged by issues of competency and intent. This intense, fast-paced three-day course will address elder law documents, guardianship, power of attorney (including recent changes to the law), capacity, undue influence, and more. Participants will discuss and examine elements of the crime with a number of subject matter experts. Elder law attorneys, state attorneys and investigators will collaboratively provide insight and formulate strategies to build successful civil and criminal cases. Participants will learn how to evaluate “the players” and steps to expose these offenders.
This course will utilize concurrent interactive breakout sessions. Investigators will strategize on evidence gathering and its value in preparation of a legal action, while attorneys will be refining their trial skills leading to the successful resolution of a case.
The Florida Attorney General’s Office and the Florida Bar Elder Law Section’s, Committee on Elder Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation are once again collaborating to present this course, primarily for investigators and attorneys. The goal of the course is to enhance attendees’ knowledge and skills in formulating successful investigations and prosecutions.
