Elder Law

Gauld & Co., Solicitors advise principally in relation to the needs of the older person and their families – particularly in the areas of Wills and estates, probate, granny flat agreements, powers of attorney and the recovery of assets for the victims of elder financial abuse.

Online Services – Wills and powers of attorney

For standard:

Our Online Services were originally developed in response to covid, to reduce the need for office visits.  The process involved the use of online forms, and remote/online execution of documents, and other time saving technology.

This was so successful that we now commence all our standard Wills and powers of attorney using this technology.

The use of the technology has brought about affordable fees in these three areas.  See our fee schedule below.

Note that this technology only commences the process of creating the documentation you want – after this, there is the normal interaction between you the client and the solicitor.

You can read more information on the other pages of this website about this documentation, or simply call us on 03 9024 3868.

 

The above is all serviced by us, but also see –
