Learning at Lunchtime: The Care System and the Law, advice on the key issues
Tuesday 7 August 2018 - 12:30-1:30pm

A free talk delivered by FCB Manby Bowdler Solicitors, aimed at raising awareness in the community about important legal issues surrounding the care system.

What are the rules relating to care assessments? What care is available and who pays for it? How are your assets assessed, and what assets can be taken into account? What if you want to give assets away? Who decides when you can't make decisions? Who makes decisions for you if you can't make them? 

Powers of attorney; the different types, how they work, why are they important, and what happens if you don't have a power of attorney?

Free event - donations invited for refreshments on the day. Please book your place.
