Appointments

Do you want personal help?
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 offers 25 minute appointments for personal help. The appointments are for information. 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.”

HOW TO BOOK A PHONE APPOINTMENT – read steps below

THURSDAYS – in March 2020 

1. Click the telephone icon on this page for appointments in March. It will take you to the online booking program (Supersaas).

2. At the booking page, do NOT click on any buttons in the top section. Look at the times listed under the ‘Available‘ tab and click the + sign to book. Only book ONE date and time.

3. After you create the appointment, it is saved for you. You will also receive an email to confirm when Nidus staff has time to approve it. If you need to cancel or postpone, please let us know asap as your booking is reserved until Nidus cancels it. To cancel, email us at info@nidus.ca

4. Payment must be received prior to the appointment time you booked. See below for details. Nidus does not receive funding for this service but is committed to providing our expert help for a modest fee.

FEES FOR APPOINTMENTS
The appointment fee is $45.00. There are no refunds. Payment can be made by the following options:

  1. E-transfer – if your financial institution is able to transfer by auto-deposit from your bank account to our non-profit bank account at Vancity, let us know and we will give you the email address to use. This should require no password or steps for Nidus. If your institution does not support auto-deposit (like Tangerine), you need to pay by a different method.
  2. Cheque — made out to Nidus. Must be received before the appointment date (allow more than one week). Address is provided in your confirmation email. Please include a note so we can match it to your appointment.
  3. 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.)
