Patty Kikos interviews Lamia Daher, who is a hijab wearing partner in a law firm. She shares many tips and resources for carers about the importance of Estate Planning, specifically when it comes to having a will, appointing an Enduring Guardian, as well as a Power of Attorney. Having these documents up to date will ensure your wishes will be respected when you are no longer in a position to make decisions for yourself.
