A Living Will, sometimes referred to as an Advance Directive, is a way in which an employee can let medical professionals know their decisions about what medical treatment they would and would not like to receive, should there come a point that their unable to express this information themselves. This can help their loved ones when needing to make a very difficult decision at a hard time.

A Living Will is an optional paid for service

A Living Will is legally binding in England and Wales – but not legally binding in Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands, or the Isle of Man. However, in Northern Ireland, a clear and specific advance decision is given legal effect under common law, meaning a healthcare professional must follow it if they know about it. If a healthcare professional has been advised to follow the decision of a Living Will and becomes aware one exists, this does then make it legally binding.

The Legal Helpline is a telephone call back service which provides access to advice and guidance from a legal expert and is free to use. Whether an employee is looking for legal guidance in relation to buying or selling a home, making plans for their loved ones through writing a Will or managing an inheritance; or maybe they have questions about divorce or co-habiting – this service could help them.

The helpline can also provide guidance on accident and personal injury implications or their rights and restrictions when someone they love loses capacity. They can rest assured that through this service, support is available during many of life’s more serious moments.

The Legal Helpline may suggest some additional services that could also be helpful – some of these services may charge a fee.

The Legal Helpline is available to employees if they're a permanent resident of Great Britain. If they’re a resident of the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man, a Legal Helpline is available, but the services may be limited. Red Apple Law will place the advice required with a trusted partner at their time of need, however the same timescales as agreed under the UK Legal Helpline cannot be guaranteed.
