Be Prepared, Be Legalwise Series: Estate Planning Essentials
Be Prepared, Be Legalwise Series: The Dangers of DIY Will Kits
Planning for your future is incredibly important for you and your family. Everyone should take the time to think about what you would like to happen upon your death and who you would want to make financial and legal decisions, as well as medical and lifestyle decisions for you if you were unable to make those decisions yourself. This session will discuss the essential estate planning documents; Wills, Powers of Attorney and Advance Care Directives.
What may save you a few dollars now may end up costing you (and your family!) later on. DIY Will Kits and homemade Wills appear simple enough, but behind these documents lies a myriad of complex laws and questions. Learn about the risks of DIY Kits, why some lawyers love them, and what you should do instead! You will also find out about how to choose the right executor, the best ways to provide for your loved ones and how to make sure your wishes are recorded in a legally-effective manner.

As a child Heather Caddick studied clouds, seeing a world of possibilities unfolding in their ghostly shapes, like mirages. This collection of stories spans a forty-year compulsion to reach the next mirage, whether on horseback to Maree droving 500 head of cattle, or sharing a picnic rug with a curious Savannah baboon and his family in the Fantale Crater in Ethiopia. Heather's stories, both enlightening and entertaining, carry a message we must hold on to our wonder in this precious planet, and the wildlife that remains wild, learning to protect it for the sake of our children's children. Born and educated in Adelaide, Heather has had a diverse career spanning kindergarten teaching to stockbroking and investment.
