Its that time, 1 in 5 of us are feeling despondent, worried about the future and wondering where we will be this time next year.
Sadly, some of us may not be here next year so UW is asking everyone to check they have prepared their paperwork.
Living Will

Power of Attorney
These three documents are the arsenal to ensure you, your friends and family know what you want to happen if something happens.
I have heard so many cases now of parents being ripped off by their children that it cannot be stressed how important it is to have these documents in place. Putting your house in trust will not save it from being used to pay for your care costs. Do you want to be resuscitated or invasive procedures if in an accident? Will you cling to life or rush to Digitas. Children waiting for their parents to die so they can get their grubby mits on their inheritance - because it is theirs right? WRONG. It is not theirs, it is yours. So go on the website - Office of the Public Guardian and download the forms, get your POA in place, draft your will and have it witnessed by your neighbours, or your refuse collectors on that bright wet Tuesday morning, or sunny Wednesday afternoon.
Prepare yourself.
Love yourself
and know
you cannot take it with you - so who do you want to have it?
