Elder Life Services

The issues confronting you in retirement are becoming more complex.  Many seniors feel frustrated at the difficulty in obtaining and understanding information about the issues affecting them in retirement.

To make informed choices and decisions, you need information which is clear, simple and easy to understand.

You also need to know that your lawyer is attuned to the social and medical aspects of ageing as well as the legal issues that may affect you now and into the future.

We focus on providing the practical information you need to make informed decisions about the lifestyle issues affecting you now and into the future.  Our experienced team has been advising on the full spectrum of legal issues affecting older Australians for many years and has the expertise to help you bring all the pieces of the puzzle together.

Importantly, we understand the dynamics of modern families and work with you and your family to involve them as much as possible in your decisions.

We offer expert advice and practical strategies for dealing with issues such as:

• Social security and pension entitlements
• Will preparation
• Estate administration
• Estate disputes
• Enduring Powers of Attorney
• Advance Health Directives
• Becoming 'suddenly single'
• Dementia and incapacity
• The 'Guardianship' regime
• Your rights as a grandparent
