Elder Law
Elder Law empowers seniors in the community to take control of their personal affairs, to plan for emergencies and the inevitability of ageing while protecting their rights and autonomy....
Elder Law draws on a range of legal areas that affect older people and their families. It is an area of Law that is specific to the client, rather than just specific to the areas of law that it covers.
Each situation must be looked a holistically, with relevant areas of law, personal circumstances and preferences being taken into account for the person being advised.
Long term planning for health care, end of life decisions and family issues is important to ensure you have the best quality of life possible in your later years.
