End of life planning

Thinking about the end of life can be tough, but being well informed can help us stay in control of the way we die. 

Making a will

It often gets forgotten - if you want to be sure your wishes will be met, then a will is vital.

Power of attorney

There are a number of reasons why you might need someone to make decisions for you or act on your behalf.

Living wills

A living will lets you indicate what type of treatment you want or refuse some types of medical treatment in certain situations.
