By 2030, one in five in Singapore will be over 60. Singaporeans have the third-highest life expectancy in the world, at 82.7 years. It is also projected that statistically, 100,000 Singaporeans may suffer from dementia by then.

As such, we at Eden Law believe that Estate Planning is an important safeguard for all Singaporeans in the event that one becomes mentally incapacitated, be it in old age or through untimely accident or mental illness.

Our Associate Director, Low Seow Ling was honoured to be invited by St Luke’s ElderCare to share on Mental Capacity, the Lasting Power of Attorney and Deputyship to their Maintenance Day Care Centre clients.

This outreach event is in line with our firm’s commitment to empower our community with legal knowledge.

Over the last 4 years, the lawyers at Eden Law have shared at more than 30 talks organised under the banner of Law Awareness Weeks @CDC.
