Lauren Layfield introduces The Willpower Detectives on the series recommendation show Your Next Podcast. Something doesn’t add up. In Hertfordshire towns, people who live alone are disappearing. Their neighbours are wondering why they’ve not seen them, or if they might have died. Giving someone else control of your finances and decisions – through Lasting Power of Attorney – is meant to come with a guarantee that they always act in your best interest. But that doesn’t always happen. And that’s what Sue Mitchell and team are investigating in this new seven part series. Follow Shadow World: The Willpower Detectives wherever you're reading this.
