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.

]]> In the last few weeks, the Provincial Court of British Columbia has released several decisions concerning parenting issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The theme is a sensible one: common sense must prevail. The presence of a risk of COVID-19 transmission alone is not enough of a reason to suspend parenting time, as it is rarely possible to completely eliminate the risks presented by COVID-19.

]]> It is unquestionable that social distancing is crucial to the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. However, can a parent restrict access to another parent because of concerns that the parent might not be practicing safe distancing?
