Family

Older adults face unique challenges in personal and family relationships. Sometimes the law addresses these issues, either by providing mechanisms for help or by dictating what must happen.  This section will address some of those unique issues.

The topics are as follows:

• Dating and New Relationships
• Grandparents' Rights
• Help with Decision Making
• Guardianship
• Trusteeship
• Death without a Will

The topics covered in this section relate to Alberta law only. For laws in provinces other than Alberta, please see our page of Additional Resources.
