Many people believe that their spouse, a friend or family member can act for them if something happens and they are unable to make decisions for themselves. This is not true. If you are unable to act for yourself, all your finanancial assets will be frozen and the government may step in and appoint a stranger to control your assets. These laws are set up to protect us from fraud and other obvious reasons. The rules work very well while you are well and fully capable of managing your own affairs. But if you fall ill, there is a huge problem. Your bills, obligations and responsibilites do not stop.
If you are unable to look after your affairs, you must have arrangements for a trusted person to handle them for you. For any and all financial decisions carried out in your name or on your behalf, properly prepared legal authority is needed. The person you want to act in your name, must have a legally binding, properly signed and witnessed Power Of Attorney to act on your behalf.
You can only give this authority by naming someone to act for you in a continuing Power of Attorney for Property.
You need to have a Power of Attorney for Property on file in case anything happens to you. Wouldn't you prefer that your spouse or trusted friend or family member handle your financial affairs rather then some government appointed stranger? This could happen if you do not take the time to prepare a CanLaw Power of Attorney for Property now, before you need it. You cannot do after you become incapacitated. |
