This information provides helpful steps and thinking points before meeting your legal adviser to discuss and set up your Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA). It does not replace advice from your legal adviser.

We understand that your will is a very personal matter, and your first priority will be to ensure that the people you care about are provided for. If you are considering leaving a legacy gift, this information provides information about different types of bequests you may consider.

As a Friend, your organisation joins a community that is committed to creating an Aotearoa New Zealand where older people are valued, supported, and able to live well. 

This brochure explains how an enduring power of attorney (EPA) works and how to create one that will work for you

This brochure helps older people recognise financial abuse and scams (e.g. pressure from family/friends, misuse of bank access or Power of Attorney) and protect their money and independence, with steps to take to prevent abuse.

Whatever people’s circumstances or community, response is a call away. This brochure outlines the process Age Concern’s elder abuse response service undertake to supports older people and the people around them, as they recognise the abuse and take steps towards change.

We’re committed to ensuring our volunteer visitors have a rewarding, safe, and enjoyable experience. Download this information sheet to read more about what’s involved in visiting an older person in your area.

Age Concern is a network of nationwide charities supporting older people, friends and whānau through services like advice and referral, elder abuse prevention, advocacy, education, and social/community connection and regular volunteer visits.
