Elder Abuse Affidavit

An Elder Abuse Affidavit is a sworn statement made by an individual who has witnessed or has knowledge of abuse, neglect, or exploitation of an elderly person. The affidavit is a legal document that describes the alleged abuse in detail, including the date, time, location, and nature of the incident(s). The person making the affidavit, known as the affiant, must sign the document in the presence of a notary public or other authorized official, attesting to the truthfulness of the statements made. An Elder Abuse Affidavit can be used as evidence in legal proceedings, such as criminal prosecutions or civil cases, and may be required to obtain a protective order or initiate an investigation. The affidavit serves as a formal record of the alleged abuse and can help support claims made by the victim or their advocates.
