In this course you will study legal issues of particular significance to aged persons ('elders'). Some issues - such as aged care accommodation - affect elders alone. Others - such as impaired decision-making capacity, enduring powers of attorney, social security entitlements, age discrimination, wills and family provision obligations - are of special importance to elders. You will also consider the ethical obligations of lawyers, executors, carers and guardians.
