“Each year, Legal Aid NSW produces a Legal Topics for Older Persons Diary packed with essential information for seniors about their rights and responsibilities,” Ms Goward said.
“It explains everything from reverse mortgages to what gifts seniors can give without affecting their pension, and what they can do if adult children don’t want to leave home.”
Attorney General Gabrielle Upton said the diary will help older people in an ever-changing world.
“Con artists often target vulnerable older people which is why the diary has information on avoiding scams and browsing the internet safely,” Ms Upton said.
“It also explains new laws that impact on seniors and has a section for older motorists about road rules and safe driving.”
The 2017 Legal Topics for Older Persons Diary is available now and can be attained from Legal Aid NSW offices, local libraries and some community organisations.
