More people are now living beyond 65 years of age, which, according to the Department of Statistics, is where “elderly” kicks in. Added to this, the pace will pick up after the year 2011 when the large baby boom generation begins to enter this age group.

We are not only dealing with an increased number of elderly clients, but also with complexities that were not evident a generation ago. Thus, increasingly, elder law is seen as an area of specialty. Not only does legal practice as it relates to the elderly face additional challenges to those which arise in general legal practice, but the elderly are often faced with difficult decisions in the latter part of their lives which require specialist legal advice.

Following earlier successful seminars on elder law topics, practitioners have said they want more on this area of practice. Join us to look at particular pressure points - wills, trusts, estate planning, enduring powers of attorney, capacity, and retirement village issues.
