An Introduction to Private Client Law: Webinar 2 – Lasting Powers of Attorney

Why attend this webinar:

There may be a time when you can no longer make or communicate your own decisions. Having a lasting power of attorney in place can save considerable time and costs if the worst should happen – so it's worth considering now. A power of attorney is a legal document that appoints someone – your 'attorney' – to make decisions on your behalf. 

James McMullan, Partner & Head of Private Client at RIAA Barker Gillette UK, presented an insightful webinar on Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA) and their use for business purposes.

James have provided practical insights to empower you to make informed decisions about your future.
