Wills

A will expresses an individual’s specific wishes regarding the distribution of assets after death. A will needs to name an Executor to manage the estate’s administration. When necessary, a will can name a guardian for minor children should parents pass away.

Who should have a Will?

Any adult in British Columbia can write a will, but people who have real estate, vehicles, businesses, or other assets have the greatest need for one. Married people or those with dependent children should have a will to direct guardianship and distribution of assets. Writing a will allows an individual to choose a trusted friend, relative, or another third party to manage the distribution of an estate’s assets.

Engman Gunther Notary Public Power Of Attorney

Power of Attorney

A power of attorney document takes effect when an individual loses the capacity to manage financial tasks and legal issues.

The document names one or more adults who will assume legal authority to complete financial and legal transactions should the grantor become physically or mentally incapable. Creating a power of attorney requires careful consideration of what activates it and who is granted the power of attorney.

When an adult suddenly becomes incapacitated and no power of attorney exists, a judicial process must determine who can assume an incapacitated person’s authority over financial and legal matters. A power of attorney may also designate funds for paying an attorney to perform administrative duties.

Who sould have a Power of Attorney?

Many reasons motivate people to speak with our New West notary public about preparing a power of attorney.

This document increases peace of mind for people who want to:
  • Know a trusted person who will manage bills, other finances, and correspondence should incapacity or absence occurs
  • Prepare for a current or anticipated decline in independent money management
  • Avoid the costly and prolonged process of placing a court-appointed committee in control
  • Prevent the appointment of a Public Guardian or Trustee

Representation Agreements

A representation agreement appoints one or more representatives to make health and personal care decisions in the event of incapacity. An individual completes it while still of sound mind in anticipation of possible future incapacity.

The document spells out the extent of a representative’s authority and grants various powers to:
  • Make health and personal care decisions
  • Refuse or accept life support or resuscitation care
  • Consent to other medical procedures or treatments
  • Decide on living arrangements or choose a care facility

Guidance from a New Westminster notary at Engman & Gunther could prepare an individual to make decisions about exactly what powers and permissions to grant.
