Will writing

Making a will is the only way to be certain that your wishes will be met after you die. Without a Will, there are certain rules which dictate how the money, property and possessions should be allocated, which may not be what you would want

Lasting Power of Attorney

This is a legal document that allows you to appoint one or more people to help you make decisions or to make decisions on your behalf when you are no longer able. This prevents a stranger, or someone you may not trust, from having any power over decisions concerning your welfare.

Advance Decision (Living Will)

An Advance Decision or Living Will is a decision you can make now to refuse a specific type of treatment at some time in the future. It lets your carers and health professionals know your wishes about refusing treatment and would only become relevant if you’re unable to make or communicate those decisions yourself.
