Elder Law · Ontario
Elder law brings up hard questions about health services, care facilities, and who gets to decide what — often right when family relationships are already strained. We help you protect the person you love, without losing sight of the relationships you'll still need long after the legal issue is resolved.
Talk to a Health Lawyer"It's painful when the other side of a legal dispute is your own parent or sibling. We never lose sight of the fact that you still have to be a family when this is over."— Lisa Feldstein, Health Lawyer
What We Do
Our elder law practice focuses on advising family caregivers with questions about access to health services, long-term care and retirement homes, and financial and personal decision-making on behalf of a loved one. We try to avoid court wherever we can — it's expensive, slow, and judges are limited in what they can actually order.
We advocate when a loved one is refused treatment, services, or coverage they're entitled to.
We advise on placement, care disputes, and navigating the relationship with a facility.
We draft, review, and advise on the duties and obligations of someone acting under a Power of Attorney.
Where there's no Power of Attorney, we help families apply to become a loved one's legal guardian.
We look for creative, negotiated solutions to family disagreements before considering litigation.
We can review your drafts, write letters under your name, or prepare you to take steps on your own.
