Getting older shouldn't mean losing control or being taken advantage of. We help older people and their families with planning, aged-care decisions and — where it happens — elder abuse, always with dignity and respect.
Part of our Wills & estates practice.
We listen to the older person's wishes first, and involve family appropriately.
The right documents — powers of attorney, guardianship, a clear will — prevent crises and disputes later.
If an older person is being financially or otherwise abused, we act quickly and sensitively to protect them.
Harm to an older person by someone they should be able to trust — often financial (misusing their money or an attorney role), but also physical, emotional or neglect. We can help address it confidentially.
An attorney who acts dishonestly can be removed and held to account. Get advice quickly, and we can act to protect your parent.
An arrangement where an older person contributes to housing (often with family) in exchange for care or accommodation. Put it in writing — we help avoid the disputes that arise when it's informal.
Enduring powers of attorney and, where needed, guardianship let a trusted person step in. Setting them up early spares the family a crisis.
Book a consultation or take the free claim check — we'll tell you where you stand and what to do next.
Leave your name and number and what it's about — a lawyer will call you back. No cost, no obligation.
