Bryce Williams Director, Bryce Williams LawSynopsis:
By 2028, New Zealand is expected to have a million people aged 65+. Aging brings with it various legal considerations and issues, including making arrangements for day-to-day living; for the possibility of a decline in health, wellbeing, and/or capacity; and for the disposal of assets.
For legal advisors, this societal development also brings both opportunity and risk – the need to be cognisant of the various matters for consideration, recognition of their potential interrelationship, and understanding of the differing (and sometimes opposing) interests involved.
These Materials will help you:
Become apprised of the breadth of Elder law issues.
Get to grips with the key issues facing elderly clients and their families and other stakeholders, and in turn for lawyers to be familiar with.
Become attuned to the range of parties with an interest in these matters – and for the need to be conscious of the potential for conflict of interest.
Intended Audience:
Anyone practising in Elder law, including estate planning, enduring power of attorney, PPPR, elder financial abuse, retirement villages, and residential care matters.
