World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) is commemorated each year on 15 June to highlight one of the worst manifestations of ageism and inequality in our society, elder abuse.
We have an extraordinary opportunity – to refuse the old ageist tropes, to write a new story about what we want life to be like as we all age, and to build the future together.
People can now virtually sign and witness of documents such as wills, general powers of attorney, enduring powers of attorney, advance health directives, statutory declarations, deeds and many other types of documents.
