ELDER LAW
Elder law focuses on protecting your independence, wellbeing, and wishes as circumstances change. Halliwells provides clear, practical advice on enduring powers of attorney, wills, trusts, retirement village arrangements, residential care, asset protection and estate planning. We work closely with individuals and families to put the right legal arrangements in place, resolve concerns early, and provide reassurance for the future.
OUR ELDER LAW SERVICES
Choosing the right care or accommodation arrangement can be a significant decision for older people and their families. We assist with legal issues relating to rest home care, retirement village arrangements, family support, and planning for future needs.
Occupation right agreements set out the terms for living in a retirement village or similar accommodation. We review these agreements and explain the key rights, obligations, costs, and practical considerations before you sign.
When a person is unable to make decisions for themselves, the Court may need to appoint someone to assist with personal care, welfare, or property matters.
We assist with applications under the Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act, including welfare guardianship and property management matters.
