Source text - English Preventing Financial Abuse
• Be clear with family members about how and when you intend to distribute inheritances.
• Don’t be pressured to hand over an inheritance prematurely.
• Be clear about what you intend to do with your money, including assets like the family home.
• Don’t give others your PIN or other bank details
• Don’t be pressured to draw down or sell financial assets, including your family home, if you don’t want to.
• Be clear if money is a loan or a gift.
• Write out legal contracts if lending any money.
• Think carefully about being a guarantor for someone, even a family member, as you could lose your home if they default on the loan.
• Be clear about plans and expectations if moving into a shared living arrangement with family members. Document what your financial share in the new property is and make sure your name is on the Title. Seek independent legal advice.
• Think about what might happen to you if your adult child’s living arrangements change, such as if they get divorced.
• Discuss your expectations with regards to shared living arrangements. This could include whether you will be expected to cook or baby-sit.
• Stay connected and engaged in the community around you. The more isolated an older person is, the more vulnerable they are to abuse.
• Obtain and read carefully information on an enduring power of attorney. Think carefully about who you trust to have your enduring power of attorney.
• Consider getting legal advice on an enduring power of attorney
• Keep a copy of your enduring power of attorney documents for yourself and inform other family members and friends about them.
• Don’t sign anything you have not completed yourself.
• Jasno dajte do znanja članovima obitelji kad i kako namjeravate podijeliti nasljedstvo.
• Nemojte dopustiti da vas se prisili da podijelite nasljedstvo prije vremena.
• Jasno dajte do znanja što namjeravate učiniti sa svojim novcem uključujući i imovinu kao što je kuća.
• Nemojte dati drugome vaš PIN ili druge bankovne detalje.
• Nemojte dopustiti da vas se prisili da prepustite ili prodate imovinu, uključujući i kuću, ako vi to ne želite.
• Jasno dajte do znanja da li je novac koji dajete posudba ili poklon.
• Ako posuđujete novac napravite zakonski ugovor.
• Dobro promislite prije nego pristanete biti jamac nekome, pa i članu obitelji, jer se može dogoditi da izgubite kuću ako se zajam ne bude vraćao.
• Jasno razlučite detalje o planovima i očekivanjima ako se odlučite živjeti s nekim od članova obitelji. Dokumentirajte koji je vaš udio u novom vlasništvu i pazite da je udio na vaše ime. Potražite nezavisni pravni savjet.
• Razmišljajte što se može dogoditi ako se okolnosti u životu vašeg djeteta promjene, primjerice u slučaju rastave braka.
• Raspravite o detaljima zajedničkog stanovanja. To može biti, primjerice, da li se od vas očekuje da kuhate ili čuvate djecu.
• Ostanite u vezi i uključite se u aktivnosti u lokalnoj zajednici. Što je starija osoba izoliranija to je ranjivija i podložnija iskorištavanju.
• Zatražite informacije o davanju trajne punomoći i pažljivo ih pročitajte. Dobro promislite u koga imate povjerenja trajno opunomoćiti.
• Razmislite o traženju pravnog savjeta prije trajnog opunomoćenja.
• Zadržite kopiju trajne punomoći za sebe i obavijestite i ostale članove obitelji i prijatelje o trajnoj punomoći.
