FL statute of limitation on Exploitation of the Elderly?

Answer 1

Elderly exploitation actions must be commenced either within five years after the cause of action accrues, or within five years of the date the conduct complained of ceases. This effectively means that the statute only begins to run once the property taken has been returned and that there is essentially no limitation on the civil remedy under 772.11 and 825.103.

Answer 2

The statute of limitations for exploitation of the elderly in Florida is generally 4 years. However, if the exploitation is discovered after the victim's death, the statute of limitations is 2 years from the date of death. It is important to consult with an attorney for specific legal advice regarding your situation.
