 Announcements

  On September 1, 2011 - the long-awaited changes to our Adult Guardianship Laws were passed in the Legislature. The amendments bring many changes to your personal and estate planning documents, such as:

  Powers of Attorney (for legal and financial matters).

  Representation Agreements (for health and personal care matters).

  Advance Health Care Directives (instructions to health care providers and family).

 

    "W.E.S.A." is now in effect - the New Wills, Estates and Succession Act ("W.E.S.A.") came into force on March 31, 2014. The new Act changes significantly the law of Wills and Estates. Click here to review the act: http://www.leg.bc.ca/39th1st/1st_read/gov04-1.htm
