Important information about powers of attorney: expert advice in Dresden!
What is currently hotly debated in Dresden? On Thursday, September 25, 2025, the social welfare office's care authority invites you to an information evening about powers of attorney, living wills and care law issues. From 5 p.m., those interested can obtain comprehensive information at the social welfare office at Glashütter Straße 51. Experts are available to answer questions and explain the important content of these legal documents. It is important to deal with these issues in a timely manner, after all it is about decisions in the event of accidents or sudden illnesses when you can no longer act yourself, as dresden.de states.
But what exactly does a power of attorney include? This power of attorney allows a trusted person to act on your behalf in legal, financial and health matters, as highlighted on gesund.bund.de. You should only authorize people for this purpose who you trust completely. It is also possible to name several people or to limit the power of attorney to certain areas, such as health and care needs.
Important basics of precaution
A power of attorney ensures that you do not end up in the waiting lounge for legal support if you can no longer make decisions yourself. Because without such regulations, family members are not automatically entitled to make decisions. It often takes a while for a court to appoint a guardian, which can be unpleasant in critical situations. The information evening offers a valuable opportunity to think about such questions and express your own wishes.
Another important point is the living will. Every adult capable of consent can determine which medical measures they want or reject. This decision will be reviewed by an authorized representative or guardian to ensure that it corresponds to the current life situation. There is also valuable information at the information evening that will help everyone to determine their own will, as bundesaerztekammer.de describes.
Information on participation and registration
The number of participants is limited to 50 people, which is why registration is required. Those interested can register by phone at (03 51) 4 88 94 71 or by email at betreuungsbehoerde@dresden.de. There is also the option to participate online via the city's website, where no registration is necessary and questions can be answered in the chat. The other events have already been scheduled for November 4th and December 11th, so that everyone has the chance to get up to date with the latest information.
The information is rounded off by the public certification of signatures, which is possible during regular office hours at the social welfare office. These take place on Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Take advantage of the opportunity to obtain information in good time and hold on to your own will - after all, no one can predict the future and an emergency could become a reality more quickly than you think.
