Let’s talk legals

What’s inside this guide?

This guide is a simple summary of retirement village legal requirements to help soothe some of the uncertainty around the decision-making process. Some of the main terms that you’ll come across in this guide are the Retirement Villages Act 2003, Occupation Right Agreement (ORA), Power of Attorney, Disclosure Statement, Code of Residents’ Rights and Code of Practice.

While "Let’s talk legals" is a fantastic place to start getting to grips with some of the legal terminology, it’s not a substitute for professional legal advice (which we strongly recommend).
