The Seniors Legal and Support Service (SLASS) provides free legal and social work support for older persons experiencing elder abuse, mistreatment, neglect or financial exploitation.
The SLASS lawyer and social worker will talk with you about what steps can be taken to address elder abuse including:
steps to stay safe
short-term counselling
how to keep money and assets safe, or recover money or assets
legal rights and options
in certain circumstances, representing a client in court or before a tribunal.
You can decide whether you want SLASS to take action or not and if so, what option suits you the best.
