Due to the popularity of these sessions we have added extra tickets available to colleagues in any location...
The session which will focus on Lasting Power of Attorney and Wills. The rules differ in England and Scotland, so please ensure you join the correct session.
Did you know that;
- Lasting Power of Attorney: protects you during your lifetime
- having a LPA gives someone you trust - usually a relative or friend the power to act on your behalf
- without a LPA all your assets, including joint ones are frozen until a deputyship order has been granted
- it takes 9 months to appoint a deputy and can cost a minimum of £2170
- putting Lasting Power of Attorney in place while you are able to can avoid all the above issue
Did you know that Wills;
- ensure your wishes are known and are respected
- should be in place if you own a property, have children or have more than £5,000 in savings
- set out where you want your assets to go and when
- make gifts of sentimental value
- choose your Executors and Trustees
- choose your Guardians for children under 18
- are important and should be reviewed every 3 to 5 years.
These sessions will offer a great source of information and advice to those wanting to know more. The sessions will be small and interactive with a chance to get all your questions answered.

I can't believe these have all sold out already?? Is there any other way of accessing these sessions?

Hello Andrea,
If you're interested on a session about lasting power of attorney, The Office of the Public Guardian is the department responsible for the service.
Email communications@publicguardian.gov.uk and they can see if they can arrange something for your department.

Yes please can you let me know if you will be organising any more sessions, or whether you have speakers that you use that individual Depts can then set up their own sessions with. Many thanks.

Good morning, I am looking to seek advice and support for this matter and live in Scotland and looking to set up a LPA for both my aunt as I am her carer and also my mother in law. Each time I select Scotland sessions these are completely sold out, is there any other sessions that I may attend that would be able to offer advice and support? thank you

Are you doing any more of these sessions, they are clearly popular and needed? Thank You
Comment by David Cox posted on
is it possible to run more events being as this appears to be a popular topic? Having sold out on ALL the dates very quickly
Comment by Michelle Greensted posted on
Every time dates are advertised they are already all sold out when we are told about them. This is a really important session so can more dates be added as there are so many people wanting them & we can't get booked in.
