Your Last Will and Testament

As a legally binding document, your Last Will and Testament Contains your last wishes to protect your assets and to make sure they go to your loved once and family members as you direct at the time of your death.

Power of attorney

A power of attorney is a legally binding document. It allows you to appoint a chosen individual or institution to manage your financial and legal matters. There are two kinds of power of attorney.

  • A general power, active while you still have the capacity to make financial decisions yourself.
  • An enduring power that only activates once you have lost the capacity to make financial decisions.

Our experienced estate Lawyer will discuss these options with you and assist you in deciding on the most suitable choice for your position.

Enduring guardianship

An enduring guardianship is a legally binding document containing the appointment of a trusted individual to make decisions regarding your healthcare and lifestyle.

The invested powers only come into effect only once you have lost the capacity to make decisions for yourself.

As enduring guardianship is a nuanced document, drafting it with an experienced legal professional is essential. As such, contact our office on (416) 659-8073 for advice tailored to you.
