During your lifetime, there may be occasions when important decisions need to be made about your finances or your health care that you cannot make for yourself. Assigning power of attorney, or appointing a person under a representation agreement, will help ensure someone you trust makes those choices for you. In the absence of such authority, family members may be forced to have to apply for a Court Order in order to look after you. This is not only costly and time-consuming; it is also stressful for the family. We at the Port Coquitlam law firm of Garton & Harris have been providing legal services in this area for more than three decades. We have seen the law evolve in response to the changing needs of people who are aging in British Columbia. Upon consultation, we can recommend what combination of documents might be best for you to give you peace of mind about your future.
