With the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill going through parliament it is timely to reflect on advice clients may need relating to end of life decision making. It is estimated that 5% of the population have made advance decisions, and yet the vast majority have not been drafted by lawyers. This session will look at how best to draft an advance decision and how to avoid conflict with a health and welfare LPA.
- An overview of the proposed changes to assisted dying
- The difference between advance decisions and a health and welfare LPA
- Drafting advance decisions
- When they are valid and applicable
- Avoiding conflict with a health and welfare LPA
