Elder law helps older Victorians and their families plan ahead and deal with issues that come with ageing — from documents to aged care to protection from abuse.
Elder law helps older Victorians and their families plan ahead and deal with issues that come with ageing — powers of attorney, wills, aged care and retirement village agreements, and protection from elder abuse.
The right documents — an enduring power of attorney, a will, and a medical treatment decision maker — mean someone you trust can act if you lose capacity, and your wishes are clear.
We review aged care agreements, retirement village and "granny flat" arrangements, and explain the financial and legal implications before you sign.
Financial abuse by family or carers is a real risk. We can set up safeguards, review a misused power of attorney, and act to protect an older person’s assets.
Book a consult — we advise older people and families with care and in plain English.
