Protecting your wishes, assets and welfare when you can no longer make decisions

Retirement Villages (Occupational Rights Agreement)

Moving into a retirement village involves several legal considerations, particularly around the Occupation Right Agreement (ORA).

  • Reviewing the ORA: We thoroughly review the Occupation Right Agreement to ensure you understand all terms and conditions, including your rights and obligations.
  • Explaining Fees and Charges: We clarify all fees and charges associated with the ORA, such as entry costs, ongoing fees, and exit fees, so you know exactly what to expect.
  • Assessing Financial Implications: We provide advice on the financial implications of moving into a retirement village, including how it may affect your pension, benefits, and overall financial planning.
  • Understanding Village Policies: We help you understand the village’s policies and rules, including those related to healthcare, maintenance, and community living.
  • Ongoing Legal Support: We provide ongoing legal advice and support even after you have moved in, ensuring you have a trusted advisor to turn to for any future legal matters.
