The United States Department of Justice has launched the Elder Justice Website, as part of the Elder Justice Initiative designed to provide a coordinated federal response by emphasizing various public health and social service approaches to the prevention, detection, and treatment of elder abuse. Victims and family members will find information about how to report elder abuse and financial exploitation in all 50 states and territories by simply entering a zipcode.
The Elder Justice Act represents Congress’s first attempt at comprehensive legislation to address abuse, neglect, and exploitation of the elderly at the federal level.
On the Elder Justice Website, individuals will find information about how to go about reporting elder abuse and financial exploitation. The website is intended to serve as a “dynamic resource” and will be updated to reflect any changes in the law and current news in the elder justice field.

This is basically a general comment on the website. Reading through all the blogs you have put here, I am very impressed and feel like I am learning more and more about estate planning and what is implicated in it. I thank you so very much for the pointers and advice that is distributed in every new information blog, as well as the lessons learned in legal proceedings that you so generously share here.
