Exploitation of Vulnerable Adults (NASAA Model Act, 2016)

What this video covers

• How "eligible adult," "qualified individual," and "financial exploitation" are defined under the NASAA Model Act, and why power of attorney does not authorize theft
• The exact trigger for action: "reasonable belief" that exploitation is occurring, may have occurred, or is being attempted, with no hard proof required
• The mandatory duty to report to both Adult Protective Services (APS) and the Administrator, and why notifying only one agency is a wrong answer
• The permissive powers: when a firm may delay a disbursement or notify a previously designated third party, and why you never tip off the suspect
• The disbursement delay timeline: 2 business days for notice, 7 business days for review findings, 15 business days standard maximum, 25 business days at agency request
• Why all timeline numbers are business days, not calendar days, and how the exam baits you with calendar-day traps
• How good faith plus reasonable care grants immunity from administrative, civil, and failure-to-notify-customer liability
