[Qn by YouTube viewer "Maw Shin Koh"] ​Elders are usually very concern about cost of EOL planning. Are the panelists able to share an overview of the cost involve to the planning?

Hey Maw Shin, yes indeed. Cost is definitely on many people's minds. The more common EOL Planning would probably include the following:

​

Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA): To complete the LPA, there are usually 2 kinds of fees to watch out for. 1) Certificate Issuer fee, which would vary depending on Service Providers. You could approach a practicing Lawyer, Psychiatrist or accredited Doctor. Naturally, going to a lawyer would potentially be more expensive. 2) Application Fee of $75 to Office of Public Guardian, but currently WAIVED until 31 March 2023.

​

Advance Care Plan (ACP): Some service providers subsidize or provide it free for seniors.

You can use this search tool to locate a Service Provider that does both!

Wills: The cost of making a Will is highly varied. It can range from no cost, (there are free will writing services around for making a Simple Will) to paying a hefty sum, depending on complexity and service providers. You can even make a Simple Will on your own by using this guide here: https://www.mylegacy.gov.sg/end-of-life-plannin...
