Only 35 percent of Canadians have appointed a power of attorney for property according to a recent survey by RBC Royal Trust. Preparing a power of attorney for property is an essential part of estate planning in order to ensure your financial affairs are managed should you become unable to do so.
“Everyone should have a power of attorney in place in case they become incapable of managing their own finances.” – David Chilton
