The importance of having a will for young and old: Wills, lasting power of attorney, probate, mental capacity and paying for a care home
Welcome back to Season 2 of the Care2Share podcast.
On the new season of the Care2Share podcast, we discuss the many practical questions surrounding choosing a care home, moving in and what life is like for residents living in an elderly care home.
In this episode, we are joined by Pauline Cichy, Director of Care and Governance at Oakland Care and Nino Cuffaro, a qualified private client solicitor.
We discuss care home funding, paying for a care home, and the important subjects of wills and lasting power of attorney. This vital information is not only important for those moving into a care home but is also essential for anyone, young or old, and Nino does an excellent job explaining why.
We also discuss probate, contested probate and mental capacity. These subjects are often viewed as uninteresting or confusing, but by the end of this episode, you will understand why they are essential for us all to be informed about.
