Details of Training

CPD Hours: 42 minutes listening material

From the 1st October 2007, the only option available for those who want to plan ahead for the onset of mental incapacity is the creation of a Lasting Power of Attorney. These are more complex and time consuming documents and as such, many professionals are concerned about drafting them, the advise they need to give and acting as the certificate provider.

Solicitors for the Elderly are offering members the opportunity to buy a training and resource package. This will assist members and their firms in coping with the new challenges, ensure that we do not use up valuable time to reinvent the wheel and establish best practice.

The following have already been sent to members free of charge:

A marketing leaflet on LPAs for member's firms to use. The content can be cut and pasted into the member's firm's house style.

A marketing leaflet about acting as a certificate provider and the benefit of using an SFE member (this is on the SFE letter heading).

* This pack is available to members of Solicitors for the Elderly priced at £100 and to Probate Section members priced at £250
