20 April 2019 Training: Caregiving for the elderly – what are my legal options?

April 7th, 2019 | Events, News, Older People and Caregiving

Navigating the rights and legalities that come with caregiving for an older person can be overwhelming. Yet careful planning for the future can make a huge difference, both practically and psychologically, for yourself and your care recipient.

On 20 April, AWARE is holding a free workshop on the legal aspects of caregiving for an elderly person. Special Needs Trust Co (SNTC) and the Institute of Financial Literacy (IFL) will give a thorough presentation on Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA), providing practical and essential tips. Care recipients can lose the capacity to make decisions for a variety of reasons: a stroke, mental illness, an accident and so on. LPA lets them appoint someone they trust to make decisions and act on their behalf. Planning ahead with an LPA can give important piece of mind.

Topics such as estate planning, intestacy and its unintended consequences, and more will also be covered. Sign up now to have all your legal questions answered by our experts.

Date: Saturday, 20 April 2019
Time: 10am – 12pm
Venue: AWARE Centre (5 Dover Cres, #01-22, Singapore 130005)

Refreshments will be provided.
