Documents I Handle:

  • Power of Attorney for Legal and Financial Decisions

A Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows an individual to designate one or more people to manage their legal and financial matters. This is a powerful tool that should be granted only after careful consideration, as it enables someone to act on your behalf if you’re ill, incapacitated, or unavailable.

Without a Power of Attorney, no one—not even a spouse—has the automatic legal right to handle your personal affairs. This can create significant limitations, including an inability to sell jointly owned real estate, access personal investments (such as RRSPs, RIFs, or TFSAs), or file tax returns, potentially resulting in penalties.
