If a qualified individual reasonably believes that the financial exploitation of an eligible adult may have occurred, may have been attempted, or is being attempted, then the qualified individual may notify any third party previously designated by the eligible adult or, if such a person has not been designated or cannot be contacted, a reasonably associated individual. Disclosure may not be made to any designated third party that is suspected of the financial exploitation or other abuse of the eligible adult.
