Where there’s a Will…. 2pm, 3 June Hughes Community Centre

There comes a time when we all need to give some thought to the legal arrangements that go along with ageing – such as guardianship, powers of attorney, making a will or a ‘living will’, organ donation, palliative care and advance care planning. If it doesn’t affect you now, chances are it will affect you or your family at some time in the future.

On 3 June at 2pm, at Hughes Community Centre, Wisdom Street Hughes, COTA ACT is holding a FREE forum to provide information on these areas. Come along, hear from our expert presenters, ask your own questions, and enjoy a delicious afternoon tea! More information available from Jane Thomson (6282 3777 or jthomson).
