It's Free Wills Month and we're joined by Kirsten Marshall from Wills on Wheels to discuss all things Wills and Lasting Powders of Attorney (LPAs)!

Kirsten talks us through what Wills and LPAs are, who needs to consider creating these documents and what they mean in real terms. As well as this, we go into how much these documents cost and how you can go about creating them.
