Advocacy services

The legal and financial challenges that often accompany aging can be overwhelming. Fortunately, there are a range of experts in New Zealand who can help with legal advice, financial planning, and advocacy.

Getting specialist advice is important to help protect your rights when faced with complex issues, such as retirement village contracts, paying for care, or end-of-life planning. If you need guidance on a specific issue or want to understand your rights, there are free advocacy services and helplines available. For additional support, your local NASC (Needs Assessment and Service Coordination) team is the first point of contact.

Have a look through our directory to discover a range of advisors who can help make your life easier.
