Haldanes delivers community talk on the “three instruments of peace”
Following a kind invitation from The Salvation Army (Hong Kong and Macau Territory), Xenia Lo, Senior Associate in our Civil Litigation team, recently delivered a comprehensive talk on the “three instruments of peace”: Wills, Enduring Powers of Attorney (EPOAs), and Advance Directives (ADs).
More about the event
During the session, Xenia explained how these three legal instruments provide essential security and clarity for end-of-life planning. Such preparations are increasingly significant given Hong Kong’s ageing population and the need for robust personal legacy management.
This presentation builds upon her previous engagement in January 2026, where she was invited by the Hong Kong Society of the Aged (SAGE) to speak on the same topic, highlighting the continued importance of these legal tools in effective end-of-life planning.
