Planning for the Future

The Prince of Wales Hospice has put together a guide where you can keep all your important documents in one place. This is handy as you and others can quickly find all your important information without having to sort through lots of paperwork.

You can find the guide here.

A useful guide has been created by Age UK. The guide details everything you should think about before the end of your life. It includes things like:

Planning for your funeral,
Talking to your family and friends,
Thinking about where you would like to be looked after.

You might need to have a Lasting Power of Attorney in place to prepare for a time where you can no longer make decisions. You can choose someone you trust to deal with your property, finances, and health.

You can read more about Lasting Power of Attorneys on this page on connect to Support.

Making a will is the only way to make sure your assets go to the people or causes you care about.

You can find information about making a will on the Citizens Advice website.

You can find templates and guides about making a will on Age UK and Mind.
