Some feedback from Nidus webinars/presentations.

“Very informative…covering the confusion that’s out there among professionals regarding RA7 & RA9…. and documents we thought were legal, like DNR are not…, great job educating the legal profession and health care.”

“Very good…understanding the differences between Rep Agreement, Power of Attorney, and Enduring Power of Attorney.”

DEMO OF THE PERSONAL PLANNING REGISTRY
Register important information and documents and make them available to the people and institutions who need to know. For example, register a Representation Agreement, Enduring Power of Attorney and other details related to personal or estate planning. Be prepared in case of a natural disaster such as a wildfire, flood or earthquake — register documents you can use during the disaster and to re-build your life afterwards.

PLANNING FOR FINANCIAL & LEGAL MATTERS
Enduring Powers of Attorney or a Representation Agreement with authority for routine finances are legal documents in BC adults may use to plan for incapacity, end-of-life, and other support needs. If there are no arrangements in place, adults can lose their rights through adult guardianship, called Committeeship in BC. Find out how adult guardianship is the LAST RESORT in BC.  Also learn about the limits of a Power of Attorney and Bank Power of Attorney.
