Planning for the Inevitable - A Talk

90% of people think it’s important to plan for the end of their lives, but only 14% actually get round to it! But recently, following the pandemic, more people realise that planning for the inevitable is essential, as now we are more aware that we cannot know what will happen to us and when. Take a moment from your busy life to think about planning ahead.

Ann Kenrick will lead an informative, entertaining and thought-provoking session outlining key decisions you can make in advance, to ease the burden on your family and friends if you lose mental capacity. Experience shows that planning ahead can really help those that you love and not doing so can cause serious rifts. Apart from vital matters like wills, powers of attorney and funeral arrangements, areas covered will include:

• What are Advanced Decisions and Statements and why they are critical ;
• What are your digital assets and why it is helpful to consider and record wishes for your legacy;
• Why it is crucial to ensure a trusted friend or family member has access to our passwords.

Learn how simple it is to get all of this sorted. Join Ann to embrace this often taboo topic and start your journey towards getting your plan in place. Previous attendees have described the talk as follows: informative, pleasant, thought provoking, knowledgeable, helpful, provocative, thoughtful, eye-opening, humorous, absorbing and entertaining and 99% say they would encourage anyone else to attend.
