A combined product covering your Will, your Lasting Power of Attorney and your Living Will/Advanced Decision all in one go.

OCG Legal and One Consultancy Solutions are providing a Legacy Package that covers the three key end-of-life legal documents to ensure your voice is heard when you cannot speak for yourself. 

The Legacy Package includes a Will (new or updated), a Lasting Power of Attorney (both financial and welfare) and a Living Will. 

Sadly there is no one legal document that covers all of the above. To ensure all those wishes are met, you need three separate documents. Most people know what a Will is, how it works and why they need one, but still 40% of adults in the UK don’t have one. However, a Will only covers what happens to your assets upon death. It doesn’t cover your wishes before you pass if you should become incapacitated. There are two additional documents that cover your wishes BEFORE death if you become unable to make choices on your own.

Lasting Power of Attorney

A Lasting Power of Attorney is someone that you appoint to make decisions for you if you are unable to make them for your self. That could be if you are seriously ill, or if you have dementia. These decisions could be regarding financial matters, or about your health and welfare. There are two types LPAs for this reason, Health and Welfare and Property and Finance. Most people combine them and have one over-arching LPA, however you may want to choose two different people for the different aspects of your life.

Living Will/Advanced Decision

The Living Will only applies to the specific treatments and scenarios that you have chosen to include and it doesn’t permit anyone else to make decisions on the instances detailed in the document.  It could include your choices on refusing specific types of drugs, or palliative care, but most importantly it can provide clarity on your choice to refuse treatment, even if that could lead to your death. Due to the gravity of these decisions, your Living Will will need to be witnessed and we recommend you involve your GP, as they understand your medical history.
