### Where can I obtain information on the topic of precautionary measures through powers of attorney, advance care directives and living wills?

 

accidents, illness or old age can put anyone in a situation where they are no longer able to manage important areas of their life themselves.  
 The Munich care associations can advise you if you want to make provisions for this eventuality. When you set up your personal pension plan, you will receive the necessary information on the topics of precaution through power of attorney, care and living wills.  


   
### Who can take on a voluntary care role? Are you looking for a challenging voluntary position or are you already a voluntary legal carer?

 

We are happy to advise and support you personally, offer further training and the opportunity to exchange ideas with other volunteer carers.
