Our practice Areas
Divorce & Separation
Navigating later-life separation requires a clear understanding of your legal standing and financial future. We provide compassionate guidance through mature-age divorce, helping you resolve complex asset divisions, protect retirement income, and move forward with peace of mind.
Grandparent Rights
Maintaining a strong connection with your grandchildren is vital to family life. We assist grandparents in securing contact during family disputes or changes. We also assist with issues arising from the increasingly common need for grandparents to take over care of their grandchildren.
Asset protection
Safeguarding your hard-earned wealth ensures stability in your later years and protects what you leave behind. "Prenups" are becoming common in late-life relationships. Parents are also vulnerable to financial abuse by children or others.
Elder Abuse
Everyone deserves to live in safety, dignity, and independence. If you or a loved one are facing physical, emotional, or financial exploitation, we deliver swift legal intervention to halt harm, recover misappropriated assets, and restore security.
Marriage/Civil Unions
Entering a marriage or civil partnership later in life brings unique legal and estate planning considerations. We draft clear pre-nuptial and relationship agreements that preserve existing assets and clarify responsibilities, helping both partners enter the relationship with confidence.
Property Settlements
Dividing real estate and joint property late in life demands precise financial planning. We negotiate and draft comprehensive property settlements that protect your home, secure fair valuations, and establish equitable equity splits tailored to your retirement goals.
Wills
A well-crafted, legally binding will guarantees your wishes are honored and your loved ones are provided for. We draft clear testamentary documents which minimising potential disputes, such as family provision claims, and administrative delays for your family.
Consumer Disputes
Older adults are frequently targeted by unfair commercial practices, scam contracts, or predatory service agreements. We advocate on your behalf to resolve disputes, secure refunds, cancel deceptive agreements, and uphold your consumer rights.
Retirement Villages & Communities
Transitioning into a retirement community or lifestyle village involves complex lease agreements and fee structures. We review contracts line-by-line to clarify ongoing fees, departure payments, and resident rights before you sign.
Residential Aged Care
Entering residential aged care requires careful legal and financial navigating. We advise families on aged care entry contracts, fee calculations, refundable accommodation deposits (RADs), and help residents achieve the high quality care they deserve.
Health care Planning
Proactive healthcare documentation keeps you in control of your medical decisions. We draft legally sound advance care directives and living wills to outline your treatment preferences and select trusted individuals to oversee your care if needed.
Power of Attorney
Appointing a trusted individual to handle your financial and legal decisions ensures continuity if health challenges arise. We create comprehensive Enduring Power of Attorney documents that safeguard your interests and empower your chosen representative.
