This week Radio COTA dives deep into the very important topic of ‘Enduring Powers of Attorney’ .. In this Special Focus Feature, we discuss … • The importance of making an informed choice about an EPA, implications of not having one and assuming family can act for you. • The difference between a will (and other documents) and an EPA. • The importance of choosing the right people/ person, it’s about someone you trust to make the decisions you would want them to make; important not to just default to spouse or kids but really think about who has the right skills and knows what you would want. • The importance of having conversations with people about your values and wishes. • The importance of reviewing an existing EPA. We hear Margaret Greig , David Peace, Judith Chapman, Phil Page and Libby Knight, (some of the wonderful Peer Educators at COTA Qld), share with us the information older Queenslanders have found valuable in regard to Enduring Powers of Attorney .. Later in the show, we go one-on-one with Clinton Miles - Director, Disability Services with The Public Trustee, Queensland to discover the important role the Public Trustee plays in the Enduring Powers of Attorney process .. Putting an EPA in place is an individual decision about what is best for you. We hope that the information in this Radio COTA episode goes some way to helping you make sure that YOUR decision is a well-informed one !
