The Alaska Petition for Long Term Protection from Financial Abuse is a legal process that allows individuals in the state of Alaska to obtain a court order to protect them from financial abuse, such as fraud or identity theft. This petition can be filed by either the individual or someone acting on their behalf, such as a lawyer or family member. The court order, known as a Civil Protective Order, can provide protection for up to three years and can include a variety of provisions such as: freezing accounts, preventing the transfer of assets, or mandating that financial transactions be supervised by a court-appointed representative. There are two types of Alaska Petition for Long Term Protection from Financial Abuse: Temporary and Permanent. The Temporary Petition is a short-term solution that can last up to 90 days, while the Permanent Petition is a more long-term solution that can provide protection for up to three years. Both petitions require the petitioner to provide evidence of financial abuse and must be approved by a judge.
