Powers of Attorney
Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Representation Agreements
Truman Law assists clients with the preparation of wills, powers of attorney, and representation agreements in accordance with British Columbia law. These documents play an important role in estate planning and personal planning by setting out how a person’s financial, legal, and personal matters are to be managed during their lifetime and after death.
We take a practical approach, explaining options clearly and ensuring documents are tailored to each client’s circumstances, wishes, and family considerations.
Wills
A will sets out how a person’s estate is to be distributed after death and allows individuals to appoint executors and guardians where appropriate. We assist clients with preparing clear and legally effective wills that reflect their intentions and help reduce uncertainty or disputes among beneficiaries.
Powers of Attorney
A power of attorney authorizes another person to manage financial and legal affairs on behalf of the individual granting the authority. We advise clients on the scope and limitations of powers of attorney and prepare documents that address matters such as banking, property, and other financial transactions.
Representation Agreements
A representation agreement allows an individual to appoint someone to make personal, health, and healthcare decisions if they become incapable of doing so themselves. We assist clients in preparing representation agreements that clearly outline decision-making authority and reflect personal values and preferences.
Seniors
Planning for Seniors
For senior clients, careful planning is particularly important to ensure that financial and personal affairs are managed according to their wishes. We assist seniors and their families with wills, enduring powers of attorney, and representation agreements, taking care to explain documents in plain language and ensure that instructions are understood.
Our focus is on helping clients put appropriate planning documents in place to support continuity, clarity, and informed decision-making.
Notarization
We also provide notarization services in connection with estate planning and related legal documents.
