It can be tricky to spot financial abuse, particularly in close relationships. Here are some signs that you may be at risk:
- someone else is controlling your bank accounts and access to money in general;
- you are feeling pressured to give money to someone else;
- someone is selling or threatening to sell your property or possessions without your knowledge or consent;
- someone is unreasonably relying on you to cover all of their living expenses;
- bills have not been paid when you entrusted someone else to pay them;
- someone is hiding money from you or may be making you feel as though you cannot manage money by yourself;
- you notice that valuable items have gone missing from your home; or
- you are being pressured to change your will.
