What can you help me with?

We specialise in helping people to make a living will (advance decision) and also provide information on:
- Do not resuscitate (DNR) forms
- Lasting power of attorney (LPA) for health and welfare
- Advance statements
- Making decisions for someone else
What can you not help me with?
We operate within the law and do not provide information about:
- how to end your life
- how to access an assisted death
Is the service free?
We are a national charity supporting adults to plan for the end of life. All of our services are free. This includes:
- living will (advance decision) and advance statement forms

Any adult can contact us for support. You do not need to use a solicitor to make any of the forms we provide.
