What is the legal definition of financial exploitation?

Financial exploitation is when someone:

  • steals or misuses your money or assets on purpose (“intentional misappropriation”); or
  • reduces your assets (“diminishment”) by influencing you to act against your own free will (“undue influence”).1

Financial exploitation does not include when a person makes an honest effort to help you manage your money or other things of value but you end up losing money.1
