Elder Law in Victoria – Supporting Seniors and Families with Care
​At The Genesis Law Group, we understand that aging brings unique legal, financial, and personal challenges. Our Elder Law services in Victoria are designed to help seniors and their families plan for the future with confidence, compassion, and clarity. Whether you’re preparing important legal documents or protecting the rights of an elderly loved one, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Comprehensive Elder Law Services
Elder Law is about more than Wills and Estates; it’s about ensuring peace of mind and preserving dignity at every stage of life. We provide legal support for seniors and their families in a range of areas, including:
Estate Planning for Seniors
Helping you create or update your will, trusts, and estate plans to protect your assets and ensure your wishes are carried out.
Planning for Incapacity
Preparing Powers of Attorney, Representation Agreements, and Advance Directives so you can designate who will make decisions for you if you are unable.
Committeeship/ Adult Guardianship
Assisting family members or trusted individuals in obtaining legal authority to manage the personal, health, or financial affairs of someone who has become incapacitated.
Protection from Elder Abuse
Addressing concerns related to financial exploitation, neglect, or emotional abuse, and taking steps to safeguard seniors from undue influence or coercion.
Long-term Care Planning
Providing advice about residential care, home support agreements, substitute decision-making, and funding considerations for future care needs.
Acting as Power of Attorney, Representative or Excecutor
For clients without close family, Jacqueline Horton can personally serve as your power of attorney or representative to manage your affairs responsibly and ethically.
Executor & Estate Administration Support
Helping executors carry out their duties efficiently and with sensitivity or serving as executor where needed.
Our goal is to help seniors and their families plan ahead, protect assets, and ensure that future care and financial arrangements are clearly defined and legally sound.
Our Approach to Elder Law in Victoria
At The Genesis Law Group, we combine deep legal knowledge with genuine compassion. Jacqueline Horton, founder and principal lawyer, has over 25 years of legal experience and a professional background in nursing and midwifery. Her experience gives her a rare understanding of both the legal and emotional complexities that come with aging and caregiving.
Jacqueline’s approach is defined by three core principles:
-
Honesty and Integrity: She provides practical, transparent advice focused on doing what’s right for every client.
-
Compassion and Understanding: Many clients come to her during difficult times: grieving, anxious, or overwhelmed. Jacqueline takes the time to listen, explain, and reassure.
-
Relationship-based Service: Her long-standing motto, “In the business of relationships,” reflects her commitment to genuine connection and trust with every client she serves.
A Personal and Accessible Experience
When you contact The Genesis Law Group, you won’t be routed through automated systems or answering services. Your call will be answered by a real person, and you can speak directly with a lawyer. Jacqueline and her assistant, Chen, take pride in being approachable, responsive, and available. Clients often remark how rare it is to reach a lawyer directly, and how comforting it is to deal with someone who genuinely cares.
Jacqueline also understands that mobility or health concerns can make in-office meetings difficult. That’s why she offers:
-
Home visits
-
Hospital visits
-
Saturday appointments (by request)
This level of accessibility and personal attention makes The Genesis Law Group a trusted choice for Elder Law in Victoria.
Recognition and Dedication
Jacqueline’s dedication to her clients has been recognized through the Black Press Women of Distinction Award, honouring her for going above and beyond in protecting the rights of elderly clients. In one notable case, she successfully obtained committeeship for a senior who had been financially abused by a family member, a testament to her commitment to justice, empathy, and client protection.
