Personal Planning Month - October 2017

Nidus is again devoting our time and expertise to raising awareness about Representation Agreements and the concept of personal planning. We are using the month of October to provide special topics through our webinars and also offer some in-person presentations in the Metro-Vancouver area. We only do this once a year spread the word – this is a dynamic and evolving area of law and practice and one needs to keep in contact with Nidus for accurate and up-to-date information.

Some recent questions we’ve received from professionals:
How do I help my patients at the Spinal Unit to sign their Representation Agreements?
My client brought a Power of Attorney they made when living in Ontario, can they use it in BC and for what?
What disqualifies a person from making health care decisions for a ‘spouse”? Is there a time limit spouses have to be together? Does there have to be legal paperwork if they are separated?
