Brought to you by Standard Life to raise awareness of Power of Attorney Day

Trish & Lorraine tackle the never-ending midlife to do list & the biggest causes of the 3am wake up & worry. Joined by Alison Harvie of Carers UK, they discuss why having Power of Attorney in place for you & your loved ones can ensure peace of mind for so many of life’s potential curve balls. Find out who needs one (that’ll be all of us, even if you are married, have a next of kin or are 18 & over & especially if you are a carer), the practicalities of getting one, how to talk to an elderly relative or dependent about why it’s in their best interest to have one, as well as the emotional & financial costs of not having one. A fascinating 30 minute must listen.

(PS: Can you guess which of your hosts does & doesn’t have a Power of Attorney?!!)
