Annabel founded Agespace.org in 2016 as a result of her own family’s experience caring for her mother who suffered a stroke.  She soon realised that making decisions with and for elderly parents can be complicated, complex and highly emotional.  

Age Space is the trusted guide she didn’t have: a one-stop online resource for anyone caring for a parent or relative. She is now an expert on all things elderly care and a champion for those looking after their family members.

If you don't have a Will or Power of Attorney... this is for you.

Imagine your family not knowing what your wishes are about your property, belongings and money after you die. This is what can happen if you don’t have a will. 

Or imagine becoming incapacitated and unable to make decisions about your finances, health, or care. This is what can happen if you don’t have a power of attorney.

You’re not alone. At least 8 million adults aged over 45 have not written a will, and only one in five have appointed a power of attorney.

We had a great, in depth conversation with James Buchan from Which? exploring why it makes good sense to have a will and a power of attorney. 

  • Why now is the right time to start taking these legal steps (it’s never too early, but it can be too late…)
  • The biggest mistakes are when writing a will or arranging a power of attorney – and how to avoid them
  • Why a power of attorney is for everyone: the “what if you get hit by a bus tomorrow?” scenario
  • The clear, practical actions that you can take now to ensure you and your family are legally prepared.

Dad left very clear instructions in his will about what should happen after he died. At a stressful and sad time for the family, it was very helpful to know what he wanted. It saved us time and money

“Thank goodness Mum had a power of attorney as her dementia worsened. As I was one of her attorneys she appointed,all the arrangements we needed to make for her care were straightforward at a very difficult time.”
