Webinar #1 | Safeguarding vulnerable populations: From a statutory framework to healthcare assistance & tax perspectives
Monday, 24 August
16:00 – 17:00 CET
The session will focus on the protection of the vulnerable under a multidisciplinary perspective. It will explore the statutory framework and analyse the concept of capacity as well as the legal measures available in different jurisdictions to protect persons with limited capacity.
This topic is also strictly related to health care. The session will therefore address the new instruments that have been put in place to provide innovative assistance, such as the privately-funded Patient Support Programs (PSPs). Will also be addressed the aspect of informed consent to be provided by patients with limited capacity and, finally, telemedicine and the use of technology for the provision of domiciliary assistance.
Under a tax law perspective, the session will explore the tax position linked to guardianship. It will focus on the position of the guardian and the person with limited capacity. This can include fiduciary arrangements, such as trusts and foundations. Tax benefits granted to vulnerable persons or corporations willing to support (programs for) persons with limited capacity will also be addressed.
