An Enduring Power of Attorney – A Personal
Directive – A Will: A Legal Toolkit
Planning for disability or death is never pleasant. However, it is an
important part of identifying what you want done when something like
this happens to you and helping those around you carry out your wishes.
An enduring power of attorney, a personal directive and a will are basic
to building your plan.
With them you can set out respectively:
• Who will handle your financial affairs and how if you become mentally
incompetent
• If you become mentally incompetent, who will handle your medical and
other personal life decisions and the kinds of choices they can make for
you.
• How you want your estate to be dealt with at your death.
In this presentation you will learn about these basic legal tools and
what is involved in acquiring them.

Grandparents, Grandchildren and Law
Grandparents often play a significant role in the lives of their
grandchildren and the emotional ties can be deep. If parents separate or
divorce, it can become difficult for grandparents to maintain this
relationship with their grandchildren. Other times, such situations can
result in grandparents providing much or all of the care for their
grandchildren. How does the legal system respond in these types of
situations? This session looks at subjects like parenting of and contact
with children (also referred to as custody and access), maintenance and
guardianship from the grandparents-grandchild perspective.
