Power of Attorney for Property

Protect your financial future by appointing someone you trust to manage your property and finances

What is a Power of Attorney for Property?

A Power of Attorney for Property (also called Continuing Power of Attorney or Enduring Power of Attorney) is a legal document that gives someone you trust the authority to make financial and property decisions on your behalf.

Your attorney can manage decisions regarding:

  • Bank accounts and financial transactions
  • Real estate and property sales
  • Investments and business operations
  • Tax matters and government benefits
  • Digital assets and online accounts

Types of Property POA

Continuing Power of Attorney

Most common in Canada. Remains effective even if you lose mental capacity. Provides ongoing protection.

Springing Power of Attorney

Only becomes effective when you lose capacity or under specific conditions you define.

Immediate Power of Attorney

Effective immediately upon signing. Your attorney can act right away, even while you retain capacity.

Why Create a Property POA?

Protect Your Assets

Ensure your financial affairs are managed properly if you become unable to do so yourself

Avoid Court Proceedings

Choose Who Decides

You select someone you trust, rather than having a court-appointed guardian
