Planning for the future is not just about wills and powers of attorney, but also about being comfortable both financially and physically. Fleming Law can assist with these aspects of getting older so that you can focus on the things you love.

Aged Care & Community Living

If you are considering moving into a residential Aged Care facility or Retirement Village in the future, there are many legal issues you will need to consider. Just as Strata buildings have their own unique rules and by-laws that unit owners must comply with, so too do Aged Care facilities and Retirement Villages. It is important that you understand your legal obligations and responsibilities before signing an Aged Care accommodation contract. Seeking legal advice so that you are fully informed will prevent any problems and unanticipated charges down the track. Fleming Law can provide legal advice about residential Aged Care and Retirement Village contracts or agreements, make sure that the terms are fair, and ensure that you understand what you will receive in return for your financial commitment.

Choosing the Right Residential Care

Choosing the right residential care option for your later years will depend on your unique situation and the level of care that you desire or need. Your needs may change as you get older. There are 3 main types of care options:

Stay in Your Own Home: If you prefer to remain in your own home, you may be eligible to receive Home Care.
A Retirement Village: these can offer a mix of independent living units and more supported living units.
Aged Care Facility: formerly referred to as Nursing Homes, these can offer different levels of care, from low to high, with extra services on offer as required.

Elder Law

As you get older, you may not realise that there are many laws that exist to protect the rights, property, and wealth of aging individuals as they enter their next phase of life. These laws also help to ensure that your loved ones and family members are provided for in the eventual event of your passing.

Elder Law also encompasses laws that protect against the financial abuse of the elderly. Your friendly and understanding Fleming Law lawyer can help you make the best decisions as to whom you leave in charge of your estate once you pass or are unable to do so yourself.

Testamentary Trusts

A testamentary trust is a trust established by a will. They are becoming increasingly common these days and for good reason. They offer significant taxation and asset protection benefits to the beneficiaries of a will.
