Rehovot Talk – Enduring Powers of Attorney @ Private home

Jun 13 @ 20:30 – 22:30

A talk by Adv. Yael Rosenberg Rich.

What happens when you can no longer handle your own affairs and make decisions regarding your health and welfare? Until recently the only solution was for the court to appoint a guardian for you. Israeli law now enables you to appoint the person you wish to represent you and look after your interests: the Enduring Power of Attorney. The new law will be explained, the procedure for signing an Enduring Power of Attorney and its ramifications.
