Introduction to Power of Attorney
Power of Attorney tells you how a legal document called a power of attorney can be used to give someone the authority to take care of financial and legal matters for you. It explains the types of power of attorney, who can be an attorney, how to make a power of attorney, and how to end a power of attorney.
At People's Law School, we believe accurate, plain English information can help people take action to work out their legal problems. This publication explains in a general way the law that applies in British Columbia. It is not intended as legal advice. For help with a specific legal problem, contact a legal professional. Some sources of legal help are highlighted in the "Where to Get Help" section.
We have tried to use clear language throughout. See the "Glossary" section for definitions of key legal terms, which are also bolded in the text.
