Where a power of attorney is useful

  • Financial institutions will not deal with anyone but the account holder or a properly authorized attorney (and even with a Power of Attorney it is sometimes difficult).
  • Land title documents (property purchases, sales, and mortgage renewals) must be signed by the registered owners or a person properly authorized to sign on their behalf.
  • CRA requires proper authorization from a taxpayer in order to provide information or to allow someone else to act on a taxpayer’s behalf in dealing with the CRA.

Making or changing a will by an attorney using a Power of Attorney is specifically prohibited.
