Thanks to a temporary regulation, you can now have the signing of important end-of-life legal documents witnessed over video conference—this applies to wills, enduring powers of attorney and advance health directives.

We have seen what change is possible when bureaucratic barriers are removed, shared wellbeing is valued above perceived differences, and a spirit of collaboration is encouraged.
