SUMMARY:End Of Life Planning
DESCRIPTION:Hear from legal experts and learn about your rights as you do end of life planning. Delivered as part of Dying To Know Day .\n\n\nKnowing your rights when you can’t decide for yourself is an important issue in this day and age. \nJoin us at West Ryde Library for a Dying To Know series of talks on End of Life planning\, with a representative from the Senior Rights’ Service.
