Answer

Can financial control be part of elder abuse in Mallorca?

Yes, financial control is often part of abuse and neglect. It can involve pension withdrawals, misuse of powers of attorney, or secret transfers that leave the older person without enough money for basic needs. In Mallorca, banks and relatives should pay attention if account activity seems unusual or inconsistent with the person’s normal spending.
