A Power of Attorney is the legal document in which someone appoints one or more people (usually a spouse, or a close relative or friend) to deal with his or her legal and financial affairs if he or she is ever unable to do so personally. These situations can be as minor as losing your wallet while on vacation and needing your Attorney to arrange something at your bank, or as serious as being injured in an accident and needing your Attorney to deal with all of your affairs. Without a Power of Attorney Canada's strict privacy laws prevent friends and family, regardless of their good intentions, from assisting. At Bennet Waugh Corne we can help you determine what form of Power of Attorney you require and draft the document to meet your individual needs.

We can help you define your needs, and create a plan of action that's best for you and your family. Starting with an initial, no-commitment consultation, our family lawyers will work with you to assess your needs, and gather the information necessary to make important decisions.

By contacting us at 204-942-7381, or through the contact us link, our staff will provide you with information about the consultation process and our lawyers’ rates. If you decide to proceed with a consultation, we will send you a consultation screening form for your completion, which will help us match you with one of our lawyers. We will then contact you to schedule an initial consultation, giving you an opportunity to meet personally, or virtually, with one of our lawyers to discuss your legal problems and concerns, and hear our suggested course of action, without any obligation to continue unless you choose.

We are committed to what matters most: Your Family, Your Future. We have the knowledge and experience to get you through the most difficult of legal issues, and the desire to do it with compassion.
