Personal care planning is an important facet of your estate plan. There are a number of solutions available to assist you in directing and guiding your personal care in the event you become incapacitated.
At the Toronto, Ontario, law firm of O'Sullivan Estate Lawyers, we provide cost-effective and tailored personal care planning solutions. We assist clients with their estate planning and develop personal care strategies in the event that you become incapacitated.
Powers of Attorney for Personal Care
A power of attorney for personal care allows you to authorize any person who is 16 years of age or older to make personal care decisions for you including health care and medical decisions on your behalf if you are incapable. You can appoint more than one attorney for personal care.
Ontario Advanced Care Plans, Health Care Directives and Living Wills
Health care directives are becoming increasingly popular in Canada. A health care directive can provide your directions and wishes about your personal care, including medical care and procedures should you be unable to make those decisions yourself. You can provide information regarding the type of treatment you wish to receive or reject if you become incapable or should you be at the end of life. You can also express other wishes, including for example the desire as long as it is reasonable to do so to continue to reside in your home and not in an institutional care setting and can deal with other specific personal care issues.
Our lawyers can assist you in developing a comprehensive estate plan that includes personal care planning solutions. For more information about our firm and our personal care planning services, contact our lawyers at 888-365-6235.
