In this episode, we’re joined once again by estate planning solicitor Tyrone Dutt, who returns to unpack one of the most overlooked risks in estate planning: what happens when you lose the ability to make decisions, but you’re still very much alive.

Tyrone explains why your Will can’t protect you in these situations, how enduring powers of attorney and guardianship actually function, and the serious legal and financial consequences of choosing the wrong person to act on your behalf.

We also cover what happens when assets are sold during incapacity, how estate plans can quietly unravel, and what doctors need to know to avoid family disputes and irreversible mistakes.

If you care about protecting your independence, your wishes, and your estate, make sure to listen to this episode!
