Choose to Plan

Covid-19 & climate change are reminding us to be prepared!

What if you are hospitalized? Click to learn about legal planning documents in BC (or select Information at top menu bar > Types of Planning).

  • Who will pay your bills? Who has authority to talk to ICBC on your behalf, if you are in a car accident?
  • Who has legal authority to make health care decisions or living arrangements on your behalf? Who has legal authority to get your income tax information and pay home care or facility care fees?
  • Even a spouse is limited in decisions and tasks they can do on behalf of their spouse, unless a legal planning document is in place giving authority to the spouse or someone else. 

Securely store important information and documents in case of sudden evacuation – use the online Nidus Registry to be prepared.

My mom is my legal representative

In British Columbia, personal planning is for all adults, based on their need for support not their competence. This is important for my son, who does not speak. As his legal representative I can help him be his own person and protect his rights. This provides an alternative to adult guardianship which would remove his rights and declare him a non-person.

I’m not waiting for a crisis

Through personal planning you can make your own legally enforceable arrangements with those you trust. This prevents the government or others you would not want from becoming involved in your personal and private affairs. Personal planning lets you stay in control.

It’s about dignity and respect

Personal planning gives us peace of mind. As a caregiver, my main concern is to ensure quality-of-life to the end-of-life at home or in a facility. And if something happens to me, I need to know someone else can carry on with no disruption in care for my loved one.
