Abstract
The paper addresses areas such as language and legal knowledge in connection with the elders’ awareness of their rights based on proper legal communication. The elder population encounter a wide array of legal obstacles, many of which prevent them from obtaining up-to-date legal information, thereby unwittingly imposing restrictions on them. The first part of the paper explains the terms related to the barriers the older people face with particular emphasis on ageism. What is more, it provides data which emphasize the lack of adequate information, leading to the purpose of this paper: improving the methods in which older generations obtain legal advice. The second part of the paper recognizes the most common, in our opinion, problems the elderly find difficult to deal with. Primarily, we try to concentrate on the reasons lying at the heart of that daunting situation which respectively would be access to the Internet and know-how to use electronic devices in order to get different pieces of information, stressing the point why state-of-the-art methods are not the best educational choice for the older generation. Subsequently, we put forward the way of sorting the issue, highlighting the significance of well-performed face-to-face communication which according to our research works best for people over the age of 60. The final part provides conclusions drawn from the results obtained from the literature review, as well as the dire need of implementing some innovative solutions that may help the elderly in everyday life.
