Free Legal Advice for Older Tasmanians

Tasmania Legal Aid's clinics offer free, private and confidential 30-minute appointments.

Appointments can be attended at COTA Tasmania offices in Hobart and Launceston or via a phone call for those who can't attend in person.

Legal clinics provide advice only.

Legal Aid cannot prepare or change wills, but they can provide general advice. Referrals can be made to private law firms that draft discounted wills.

You can ask for legal advice on many areas including:

• Preventing and responding to elder abuse
• Protecting your finances
• Centrelink gifting rules
• Guardianship
• End of life planning
• Frauds and scams
• Estate planning

Bookings are essential. Contact COTA Tasmania on 6231 3265 or email YWRtaW4gfCBjb3RhdGFzICEgb3JnICEgYXU=
