Money
and Legal Matters
Talk
to your family. Make sure your money matters will be
in the hands of someone you trust.
You
may wish to arrange for a power of attorney authorizing
someone to legally make decisions, on your behalf, once
you are no longer able. Talk to a lawyer about naming
someone to look after your financial interests.
Pull
together your legal and financial documents:
- bank
accounts
- mortgages
- insurance
policies
- pension
plans, RRSPs
- investments
- home,
car ownership
- will
