Abstract: Financial Gerontology is an emerging field that brings applied social gerontological education to financial services professionals. These practitioners are already well educated in their primary fields, but are seeking to add aging and gerontology to their knowledge to better understand and serve a mature or "aging" clientele. Thus, Financial Gerontology parallels the legal specialization of Elder Law. Practitioners first receive education and accreditation in the fundamentals, and then go further to acquire specialized knowledge and training. It is in this context that several propositions from applied research and education in Financial Gerontology are likely to be of value to Elder Law specialists.
