    Elder Law in Australia covers all the important issues of law regarding older Australians. In addition to frequently neglected subjects, such as the deceased estate, negligence, elders in society, elder abuse (financial and competence contexts), confidentiality and discrimination issues, delegated decision making, and challenges to wills and estates. Written in clear and accessible language, the text surveys Australian law through the prism of ageing. The author also locates legislation relevant to older people in both life and death, and includes cases illustrating the application of the legal principles of common law and equity in their day-to-day life.

    This practical book, containing comprehensive and relevant content, is easy to use and will be of particular benefit to legal and health care professionals in meeting the challenging needs of their clients, as well as to students studying in this area.
