Estate planning mitigates the risk of elder abuse by providing a natural focus for advancing the will and preference of the client and applying the principles of supported decision-making as appropriate. Renamed Estate Planning: A Practical Guide for Professionals Helping Australians Age Well, this 5th edition of the Perkins and Monahan book picks up this theme and unpacks the concept of ageing well as the concern of a person to have the resources to meet all objectives in life.
