Elder Law

Elder law is about helping people plan for later life and deal with the legal issues that can arise as they get older. It is not one narrow area of law, it often brings together the following:

  • Wills and estate planning
  • Enduring powers of attorney
  • Trusts and asset planning
  • Retirement village agreements (ORAs)
  • Residential care issues
  • Decision-making capacity
  • Protection of Personal and Property Rights applications (PPPR)
  • Estate administration; and
  • Concerns about the management or misuse of an older person's money or property.

    Elder law is not only for older people. We also help adult children, attorneys and other family members understand what they can and cannot do when supporting an older person.

    The best time to get advice is usually before there is a crisis. Putting the right arrangements in place early gives you more control, records your wishes and makes things easier for the people close to you.
