A LEGAL WILL
You can decide who can be your executors, beneficiaries and guardians for your children while you are alive. Making your will is drafting the legal document that instructs your executor (or trustee) how to administer your estate after your death. Senju Notary makes sure that your final wishes are reflected on and granted accurately through your will.
POWERS OF ATTORNEY
A Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows your attorney, a person appointed by you, to manage your legal (including real estate) and financial affairs on your behalf while you are alive. This is particularly useful if you become incapacitated due to an accident, physical or mental health problems, or in the event of your absence.
REPRESENTATION AGREEMENTS AND ADVANCE DIRECTIVES
A representation agreement is a tool that allows your appointed representative to make personal and health care decisions for you. If you become incapacitated, there are two types of Representation Agreements, Standard (section 7) and Enhanced (section 9). Standard Representation Agreements cover routine financial and/or health care decisions, while Enhanced Representation Agreements give broader powers to the representative, including refusing health care measures necessary to preserve life (life support).
An Advance Directive gives instructions about what health care decisions you do, or do not want in the event that you become incapable and health care decisions need to be made. An Advance Directive does not appoint a person to act on your behalf.
Senju Notary’s goal is to ensure a flexible but thorough and hassle-free process for our clients.
