Elder Law

Legal solutions for over 50's

The average age of Australia's population is increasing. As a result, the reach and impact of legal issues affecting older people and their families is increasing.

Moores Legal's dedicated Elder Law team assists older Australians to plan for and achieve a fulfilling retirement with peace of mind that their legal affairs are in order.

A member of our team of legal experts in this field will individually review your personal circumstances and provide advice designed to meet your individual needs.

We understand that older Australians have special legal needs. This is why we also have extensive networks within the aged care sector and regularly work with other aged care service providers to ensure a fully co-ordinated service.

If mobility is an issue, at Moores Legal we offer home visits throughout Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula area, and our offices are wheelchair friendly.
