MN Elder Justice Center

The Minnesota Elder Justice Center provides information and resources to older adults and vulnerable adults, and their loved ones, around issues of abuse, neglect and financial exploitation. We mobilize communities to prevent and alleviate abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation of elders and vulnerable adults. We do this by: providing public awareness presentations and education to communities; professional education and practice to institutions who work with older or vulnerable adults; shepherding important public policy initiatives that strengthen supports for older and vulnerable adults; providing direct services to victims and loved ones affected by the abuse or financial exploitation of older or vulnerable adults.

MN Legal Advice

Legal Aid offices provide free civil legal services. While each office may offer different services based on the legal issue and your geographic location, these offices may be contacted for help in situations where there are legal issues (such as denial of Medicaid benefits) caused by financial exploitation. Legal Aid may also be able to provide a referral to another service or pro-bono attorney in some instances. Visit MN Legal Advice to ask online advice and find a local legal aid office.
