In recognition of Older Americans Month, officials with the North Central-Flint Hills Area Agency on Aging (NC-FH AAA) announced three more seminars on Durable Powers of Attorney presented by Paul Shipp, Managing Attorney with Kansas Legal Services.

The Durable Power of Attorney is a legal document that designates who will handle one’s personal affairs if mental capacity is impaired or lost. The Zoom seminars address questions and provide best practices in naming a DPOA and also provide easy-to-understand information about DPOAs and Living Wills.

The next three Zoom event seminars focused on what people need to know to make DPOA decisions will happen:

· Thursday, May 14 at 11 am

· Thursday, May 21 at 2 pm

· Thursday, May 28 at 11 am

Topics highlighted will include “Why having an up-to-date DPOA is important,” “What to consider in naming a person to be your DPOA,” “What to expect from someone who is your DPOA,” “Who should have a copy of your DPOA and Living Will documents” and other related questions.

To register for these Zoom events people should go to www.ncfhaa.com/seminars or call 1-800-432-2703 the day before the event.
