About the Programme
This talk explores Wills & Lasting Power of Attorney (“LPA”), two basic yet vital instruments which every adult should endeavour to do up as part of their Estate Planning. Participants would learn more about the benefits of doing a Will and an LPA, better appreciate the consequences of not doing a Will and LPA, and would get a better understanding of the common features of a Will and LPA.
Making a Will is an important but often neglected part of estate-planning. Some of us are not aware of the adverse consequences (for e.g. cost more and longer wait to access the estate) of not having a valid Will when we pass on. Hear true stories and learn from a practising lawyer on:
- What a Will is and why you should have one;
- Who should be in a Will;
- Why appointing an executor and guardian are important; and
- What assets can you give in a Will.
