Keeping the future in mind with ElderLaw

Our ElderLaw team is a specialist division set up by GYW to cater specifically to the needs of those who are nearing retirement, or who have reached retirement.
If you are nearing or have reached retirement, you should have a full review of your affairs.

We have designed a review process that ensures your legal affairs are all dealt with and optimised. This covers all of your estate planning, including trusts or wills, and any entitlement you may have to residential care support.

Dealing with the law late in life can be stressful, but there’s no need to worry. The GYW Elder Law team are here to help, and have the experience to make your review process quick and easy.

GYW’s specialist team are experts in elder family matters and Elder Law in New Zealand. To find out more, give us a call today, and we’ll be able to figure out the next step, together.
