    ADVANCED CARE PLANNING & PERSONAL DIRECTIVES

    Helping Clients document future medical care preferences and values.

     

    Our guest speaker, Alexandra Kushliak, Education Consultant with Advanced Care Planning (“ACP”) and Goals of Care with the Calgary zone of Alberta Health Services.
     
    Her talk will help advanced planners understand how clients can communicate and document their wishes for future healthcare and personal decisions.  ACP is the process of talking about and documenting health care wishes within the PD document prepared by lawyers and clients with the medical practitioners (Goals of Care & Green Sleeve).
     
    Understanding the terminology and the challenges that go with ACP documents, Personal Directives and the Green Sleeve process will help you become a better advisor to your clients.
     
    There are challenges between the medical profession and the legal profession on making the best possible documents.  Alexandra will help us understand the problems and challenges that clients face.  To help our clients we need to understand the changes that are occurring today in these areas.  This presentation will include some excellent handouts from both the speaker and Calgary estate planning lawyers.
     
    Note:  We have a new location for this luncheon as noted above.
     
    A roundtable discussion will be held to learn your experiences and challenges that you see going forward from a planning perspective.
