Elder Law Services Brisbane

Our elder law services are designed to help older Brisbane residents plan ahead, protect their rights, and ensure their wishes are respected.

We help individuals, their families, and appointed lawyers with a wide range of legal matters related to ageing, including Wills, Enduring Powers of Attorney (EPOA), guardianship, aged care decisions, retirement village contracts, and elder abuse concerns. At Vicca Law, our goal is to make the legal process straightforward, supportive, and tailored to your needs.

What is Elder Law?

Elder law refers to a range of legal services that support the needs of older Australians and those who care for them. It involves planning ahead, making informed decisions, and protecting the rights and wellbeing of vulnerable individuals as they age.

  • Retirement Village Contracts – Reviewing entry agreements and exit terms, helping you fully understand your rights before signing

  • Legal Support for Attorneys – Advising those acting under an Enduring Power of Attorney on their duties and legal responsibilities

  • Elder Abuse & Family Concerns – Helping you take legal steps if you’re concerned about financial abuse, neglect, or undue influence

  • Aged Care Legal Advice – Explaining aged care accommodation contracts, service agreements, and fee structures
