Information on Wills and Powers of Attorney
In March 2024, Peninsula Community Legal Centre worked with the Respecting Seniors Network and Mornington Peninsula Shire to deliver a free community legal information session on Wills and Powers of Attorney. The sold-out event took place at the Safety Beach Community Centre.
We were lucky to have Carol O’Halloran as our MC for the event. Carol is the host of Channel 31’s Over 50 So What” TV show.
For those who missed out – or who just want a refresher – the event was recorded for two segments of Carol’s TV show. The recordings are available to view below.
Segment 1. Wills: Why is it important to write a will. And have you done it yet?
Segment 1 features speaker William Betts, Deputy Legal Director of PCLC and Jackie Galloway, CEO of PCLC.
Segment 2: Powers of Attorney. Why you need one!
Segment 2 features speaker Dr. Norman Chia, Advocate Guardian from the Office of the Public Advocate.
