Appointments

Do you need help getting started or understanding which document is right for you or someone you are helping?
Do you have questions about your role as a representative or monitor?

Nidus does not provide drop-in services. Nidus offers 25 minute appointments for personal help. Appointments are information sessions. We do not give legal advice. Appointments can:

  • answer your questions about personal planning
  • help you determine which documents you need and where to get the legal forms
  • provide tips for using a Representation Agreement at the bank, hospital or government agency

“Thank goodness I booked an appointment…I read information on the website but there is so much more to understand. I would have wasted money and time without this help.”

“The extra tips for our situation are invaluable. Nidus is truly the expert on the practical as well as the legal issues.”

 

No appointments in October as we are busy with presentations for Personal Planning Month 2017.

 

In-Person Appointment – in Vancouver

TUESDAYS – 10:30am-12:00pm
Read above for instructions.

Please book a date/time online.  After you book it is saved for you. Only book ONE date/time. Check your email for confirmation or our questions to clarify. If you need to cancel, let us know so we can release the date and time for someone else.

In-person appointments are held in Vancouver near 12th Ave. & Granville St., address provided at confirmation. Payment details below. You need to pay in advance. We used to say people could pay at the appointment but many people have taken advantage of this and cancel at the last minute or simply do not show up. This is not fair to a non-profit charity – it affects our work and others who need the help.

 

Phone Appointment – we call you

THURSDAYS – 1:00pm-2:30pm
Read above for instructions.

After you book it is saved for you. Only book ONE date/time. Check your email for confirmation or our questions to clarify. If you need to cancel or postpone, please let us know asap as your booking is reserved until cancelled.

Sometimes appointments are cancelled – after you book, check back. You can book an earlier date, and let us know so we can cancel the original one. We do not receive funding for this service and times depend on staff availability.

Payment must be received prior to the appointment time you booked; details below.

 

FEES*
The fee is $35.00 or sliding scale for low-income (mention reduced fee in comment section of booking form). Payment can be made by the following options:

  1. Cheque — made out to Nidus. Must be received prior to the date. Address when appointment confirmed.
  2. PayPal — we will email you a link which will take you to a secure site where you can pay online by credit card or your PayPal account. (You do not have to set up a PayPal account if paying by credit card.)

*Nidus does not receive funding for this service, the fee helps cover some of the cost to provide these appointments. No one can book if you have booked a time – let us know if you need to cancel so someone else can have the time slot.
