Are You Prepared – Leaving Legacy To Prevent Fights & Lawsuits
On Thursday, November 14, 2024, we hosted our Leaving Legacy To Prevent Fights & Lawsuits event where we our guest speakers educated us on topics such as:
- Wills and Estates and navigating the crucial decision of selecting an executor
- Medical care options and conversations when facing life-altering health decisions and
- Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) in Canada.
This was one of our most interesting series to date. After the event we had a number of our attendees thank us for bringing the speakers to the centre and hosting this presentation….something we love to hear!
The following are the resources provided by our guest speakers at the event
Medical Assistance And Dying (MAID) And Other Options
Speaking with your family, loved ones, and healthcare team is important when thinking about your end-of-life options. You might want to talk about your end-of-life needs, wishes, and values and what options are available for you. This will help you make choices that fit into your healthcare goals and end-of-life wishes.
Goals of Care Designation
Goals of care are a way for your healthcare team to understand and plan for the kind of care you want, including where you would like to receive it. These decisions are made over time by talking with you, your family or loved ones, and your healthcare providers.
