Later Life website help with decision making

Hi there
I thought this was a good article to pass on - always good to have a few plans in place for this age and stage.
Cheers Clara
New website to help you plan for later life
The NSW Government has launched a new website providing up-to-date information and resources about wills, powers of attorney, enduring guardianship and advance care planning.

The Planning Ahead Tools website has been specifically designed for community members, service providers, legal professionals and health professionals. It contains advice, resources, videos and interactive tools to help you make decisions about health, welfare, finances and medical treatment.
Our ageing population and the increase in people living with cognitive impairments has made planning ahead an important topic in the community. Encouraging individuals to plan ahead is an important way to promote positive ageing, prevent legal problems and empower people to manage their own futures.
The Planning Ahead Tools website was jointly launched by the Minister for Ageing Andrew Constance and NSW Attorney General Greg Smith SC at Parliament House on 14 February 2012. The site is an initiative of the Planning for Later Life forum, and has been jointly sponsored by Ageing, Disability and Home Care and NSW Trustee and Guardian.
