Alberta does not have living wills. Instead, we have personal directives. You may not be able to make decisions if you suffer a serious:
-
injury – like from a car accident
-
illness – like a heart attack or disease
​
A personal directive is a legal document you make in case you can not make your own personal decisions in the future. A personal directive:
-
is optional and voluntary
-
names the person or people you have picked to make personal decisions for you – a person you name on the personal directive is called an agent
-
makes sure your written instructions are known in case something happens to you
-
only comes into effect if you are found to lack capacity – that means you are not able to make your own decisions
​
When you make a personal directive, the person or people you pick to be your agent have legal authority to make personal decisions for you. This could be temporary or long term.
Contract Review
When I was seven, I won a blow-up footstool from Sears in a contest. To pick up the footstool, my mother had to sign papers regarding liability on the footstool. Sears was not liable if the footstool blew up when we blew it up. Everyway you turn you are faced with liability issues. With digital contracts, it is difficult to read the fine print. We Can Help U with the little details.
​
We have all made mistakes in judgement with credit applications, car loans that sounded too good to be true, small business people signing contracts but not understanding what they were signing. We Can Help U has people who read contracts, explain the issues to you, and it only takes an hour to go through a contract and give you an overview of what you signed. Better an hour talking about the contract than a long period of regret later because you didn’t read the small print.
