Power of Attorney
North Vancouver and Area Wills and Estates Planning Lawyers
Our North Vancouver Power of Attorney lawyers will work with you to appoint someone you trust to deal with your finances and property should you become unable to do so.
Incapacity can strike suddenly at any stage of life. An accident or illness may make the everyday routines of paying bills, managing a budget and making financial decisions difficult, stressful and, in some cases, impossible.
Enduring Power of Attorney
It is crucial to appoint someone, while you are still mentally capable, to look after your financial and legal affairs and act on your behalf if necessary. You can do this by making an Enduring Power of Attorney. Your Enduring Power of Attorney will allow the person you select to conduct transactions on your behalf while you are unable to.
An appointed ‘attorney’ can be given authorization to perform tasks and fulfill obligations related to your financial affairs, such as banking and investments, as well as managing and maintaining real property.
Power of Attorney is not just for seniors or those in end-of-life care. Appropriate planning can offer protection in the event of a physical accident or medical emergency.
The laws in this area have undergone significant changes recently – our Power of Attorney lawyers will give you the most up to date information on this area of the law.
