This two-episode webinar series will address some of the challenges within the law when helping clients who have dementia with legal services. This course aims to provide you with confidence when supporting your clients needs and ensuring you are compliant with your professional obligations.

By the end of these sessions, you will be able to:
- Understand what dementia is
- Demonstrate how to meet the needs of vulnerable clients and support clients with dementia, as well as their families
- Manage conflicts of interest and identify who your client is
- Navigate the rules surrounding access and rights to personal information
- Understand the circumstances when access and disclosure of an incapacitated person’s will is permitted
- Recognise when it is the right time to register an Enduring Power of Attorney
