Bedfordshire charity offer free legal talk on Wills and Lasting Power of Attorney

Estate planner Dipti Bilous will be discussing the importance of having Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) in place in case a loved-one suddenly loses their mental capcity to make their own decisions.

This will ensure that their family or next of kin can easily take over managing their finances, and health and care needs, without the difficulty of going down the other more expensive and bureaucratic route.

Many people fail to understand the consequences of not having Lasting Power of Attorney until it is too late. Once a person has lost their capacity to make their own decisions, it is then too late to set one up. Dipti will be explaining how someone can set up their LPA's themselves.

She will also talk about the importance of having a valid Will in place, to avoid family disputes and to ensure your estate goes to the people you really want it to go to.

Dipti explains, ‘I am very passionate about raising awareness of these documents as I have come across some sad cases where people have left it too late and are then leaving their loved ones in a very difficult position’.
