What is an enduring Power of Attorney
An enduring Power of Attorney authorizes someone to look after the legal and financial affairs of another person (the "donor") in British Columbia. It is valid for the time it is granted and becomes void upon the death of the donor. It can be used immediately and stays valid if the donor later becomes incapable of caring for his or her legal and financial affairs. It is an important and valuable tool to allow designated person(s) to look after your legal and financial matters in British Columbia in the event that you become incapacitated as the result of a car accident, having a stroke, developing Alzheimer's disease, etc.
