Power of Attorney

Power of Attorney in Ontario – Protecting Your Interests While You’re Alive

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that gives someone you trust the authority to make important decisions on your behalf if you’re unable to act for yourself. Having a POA in place ensures your financial affairs and personal care needs are handled according to your wishes—without delays, disputes, or costly court applications.

Why You Need a Power of Attorney

A Power of Attorney is essential in Ontario because it ensures someone you trust can make critical decisions for you when you can’t.

• Avoid Court Delays and Costs – Without a POA, your family may have to apply to court for authority, which can be expensive and time-consuming.

• Choose Who Acts for You – You decide who manages your affairs, instead of leaving it to government appointment.

• Plan for Illness or Injury – Covers unexpected events like accidents, strokes, or dementia.

• Maintain Continuity in Finances – Bills, mortgages, taxes, and investments are managed without interruption.

• Ensure Personal Care Reflects Your Wishes – Your appointed person can follow your values and preferences for health care, living arrangements, and daily needs.

• Reduce Family Stress and Conflict – Provides clear authority, avoiding disputes between relatives.

• Peace of Mind – Knowing your affairs will be handled smoothly even if you’re unable to act.
