Have questions about elder fraud? Ask Georgia, Fulton leaders Friday

Update: A previous version of this article said Georgia's Attorney General Chris Carr would attend the event. After the story published online, his office called to say Carr wouldn't be attending. Carr's office said his schedule had changed because of President Donald Trump's visit to Atlanta that day. Carr's absence was not posted on any of the event listings.

Local and state politicians are gathering in Sandy Springs on Friday to discuss legal routes for preventing elder abuse and fraud.

Fulton County's senior services department will host the forum from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at the Dorothy C. Benson Senior Multipurpose Facility, 6500 Vernon Woods Drive NE. There will be a victim resource table in the lobby.
