Clarity for the future: Information lecture on provision in Ellwangen!

In times when society increasingly deals with topics such as provisions and living will, the senior team invites you to an informative lecture. On Tuesday, July 1, 2025, an information afternoon will take place in the Ellwangen sports home in Unterwaldhauser Straße 10, which begins at 2 p.m. with coffee and cake. The actual lecture starts at 3 p.m. The organizer is Caritas, and as a speaker, the committed Sonja Hummel will lead through the topic.

The lecture aims to convey the importance of living will and powers of powers for adults of all ages. This is particularly important because the legal regulations can help to enforce your own wishes and ideas even in difficult life situations. The most important aspects, including suitable forms and how to deal with special family constellations, are extensively treated during the event. A promising point is also the regulation of the digital estate, an issue that is becoming increasingly explosive.

digital estate in the focus

The digital estate is an aspect that is often overlooked. In Germany, people die regularly without having regulated their digital accounts. After death, email mailboxes are often inaccessible, which can lead to additional difficulties among the bereaved. It is advisable to create a list of the digital estate that contains passwords for email accounts and online subscriptions. This list should be kept in a safe place, for example on an encrypted USB stick or in a bank locker. A password manager can also increase the clarity.

It is also important to take precautions, to determine what should happen to the data and who get access to it. In addition, people who are supposed to take care of the digital estate should be informed. A handwritten power of attorney that is dated and signed can help that the trusted person get access to the data itself beyond death.

Pension for health and rights

But not only the digital estate is on the agenda of the lecture. Caritas will also respond to the basics of living will. A living will can determine adults in writing by a living will whether they agree to certain medical measures or reject them. An authorized representative has the task of representing the will of the power of attorney, which is no longer able to consent, which is important security for many.

Another point is the care order that is relevant in the event of an order of care, a patient should no longer be able to regulate his affairs himself. The organ donation declaration is also part of this important topic, because here clear expression of will must be taken into account in principle in order to legally reproduce the will of the patient.

Participation in the lecture is free of charge and does not require registration. Donations are welcome to support Caritas' work. Individual talks can be agreed with trained volunteers after the lecture so that personal concerns and questions can be treated.
