65% of people believe that they would be more likely to have a dignified death if they could discuss and make a record of their wishes in advance.
Yet most estate and financial planning professionals who are experienced in providing documents such as Wills, Powers of Attorney, Advance Decisions and life insurance overlook the need for an End of Life Plan. This helps families to leave detailed written instructions about every aspect of their death, including their funeral, the location of important papers and other matters that will need attending to, so they leave their loved ones with a tidy estate.
Everyone who attends this weekend course will gain a greater knowledge of how to advise people to put their affairs in order by making an End of Life plan, create a good funeral experience and be able to work more positively and effectively with people coping with a bereavement.
