Living Wills:

A great benefit of having a Living Will in place is that your loved ones know your wishes and are not left to make what can be a very difficult decision for them without knowing your feelings. Ask for more details.

Enduring Powers of Attorney: Allows you to choose someone you trust to handle your affairs should you ever become incapacitated through illness or accident.

Who will manage your affairs should you become incapable due to a stroke, dementia, Alzheimer’s? Who will sign cheques, documents, withdraw money from your account to pay the bills? Unless you have a Power of Attorney in place you may end up with your partner going to court for permission to handle your affairs. All of these problems can be resolved through putting a Power of Attorney in place.
