What should British Columbia residents know about representation agreements and enduring POAs?
BC law distinguishes representation agreements from enduring powers of attorney; capacity thresholds and permitted decisions are not interchangeable across instrument types.
Capacity standards and the scope of substitute decision-making vary between instruments. Choosing the wrong template can accidentally narrow what your representative may do.
Public resources from the BC government describe standard forms and witnessing rules; compare them to any online product you use.
Legalify users in BC should confirm that downloaded wording aligns with their intentions and complies with current provincial text where required.
