DESCRIPTION:

Preparing or sorting out your affairs both in terms of your estate and your health is a sensitive area. \;Currently\, I can find\, no national HIV organisation that offers a will or Living Will service for HIV+ people. \;I have raised this with THT and will post back when I hear more. \;The law changed recently on Living Wills so if you already have a Living Will it may well be worth reviewing it to make sure it is still 'legal'.

However\, in order to provide some guidance you may be interested in the following -

THT produce a document called "\;Dealing with Death and Bereavement"\; - click here.

For information on Living Wills\, THT Direct (0845 12 21 200) \, when I called recommended\;

Dignity in Dying - www.dignityindying.org.uk and there Advance decisions section.

Your local HIV service provider may provide a service so its worth calling them.

For making a will\, for your estate. \;It seems the common route now is via a solicitor you can find one via The Law Society website. \;

We always strongly recommend you get the appropriate advice\, i.e. from a solicitor\, on legal matters.

Remember you can always leave a legacy to a charity in your will - Remember a Charity

Here are some other sites from the web

Directgov - Making a will.

CAB - Wills.

Money Supermarket

If you are in a same sex relationship or in a \;civil partnership you may find the article "\;Ask a Lawyer\: Should I make a will?"\; from pinknews.co.uk of interest.
