Thanks for the shoutout @AmandaRishworth.

If someone you work with or know is looking to arrange a family agreement, it is important to encourage them to seek independent legal and financial advice first, says Dr Rachel Carson, Senior Research Fellow at @FamilyStudies. #FamilyAgreement #ElderAbuse
ALT It's crucial for an older person to obtain early and independent legal and financial advice. That can support the provision of clearer and more timely explanations about the risks to their circumstances for entering into a family agreement. - Dr Rachel Carson

Let’s play a game of scam bingo to kick off the week! If you can tick off even a few of these red flags, that ‘investment opportunity’ you've been looking into is likely a #scam. Remember: never take financial advice from a stranger!
