Discover the Power of Planning: Ensure the Security of your Family and loved ones with Wills and Lasting Power of Attorney.
At Expect, we understand the importance of empowering our service users and their families to take control of their future. That’s why we are thrilled to invite you to a special Information Day focused on the vital topics of wills, lasting powers of attorney, and leaving legacies.
For our service users who may face challenges in making their own will, we recognize that their families play a crucial role in ensuring their wishes are honoured. This Information Day is designed to provide you with the knowledge and support needed to navigate this complex process, ultimately benefiting both you and your loved ones.
We are proud to partner with Hexagon Life Planning Services Ltd, a local trusted company specialising in planning wills and lasting powers of attorney. Their expert team is dedicated to assisting individuals and families like yours in creating personalized plans that secure the best possible future for your loved ones.
During this event, Hexagon Life Planning Services Ltd will shed light on key aspects, highlighting why writing a will and establishing a lasting power of attorney are essential for our service users:
Protecting Your Assets: Learn how a professionally drafted will safeguards your hard-earned assets and ensures they are distributed according to your wishes, providing financial security for your loved ones.
Careful planning: When planning for the future, it is essential for spouses and families of service users to approach the process with utmost care and consideration. Writing a will is not only about distributing assets but also about protecting vulnerable individuals and ensuring that their specific needs and circumstances are taken into account. By planning carefully, you can safeguard your loved ones, prevent assets from being used for unintended purposes, and protect any vulnerabilities they may have.
Ensuring Personal Choice – Lasting Powers of Attorney: Understand the significance of a lasting power of attorney, granting a trusted person the authority to make decisions on your behalf when you are unable to do so, preserving your autonomy and preferences.
Clear Decision-Making: LPAs provide a transparent framework for decision-making. Families can make crucial choices related to healthcare, financial matters, and other important aspects of their loved one’s life with confidence, knowing they are acting within the legally defined parameters of the LPA.
Legal Authority: With an LPA, families have the legal authority to act on behalf of the service user. This simplifies interactions with healthcare providers, financial institutions, and other entities, making it easier to access necessary information and manage the donor’s affairs.
Minimised Disputes: Having an LPA in place helps minimize potential conflicts among family members regarding decision-making. When a trusted attorney is appointed through an LPA, it provides a clear and legally binding framework, reducing the likelihood of disagreements or disputes.
Continuity of Care: LPAs ensure that yours and your family’s needs are consistently addressed, even if they are unable to communicate or make decisions themselves. This continuity of care helps maintain the well-being and quality of life for the service user, providing reassurance to their families during challenging times.
At Expect, we recognise the importance of early planning and encourage our service users to consider establishing LPAs. By doing so, they not only protect their own interests but also alleviate the emotional and practical burdens on their families. It’s a proactive step towards ensuring that their loved ones can navigate difficult situations with clarity, compassion, and legal authority.
