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.
WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
My company has been using the services of We Can Help U and Elizabeth McIntyre for well over twenty years now with great success. At any time, Elizabeth has been able to provide us with everything we need, from processing our clients Annual Returns, to signing documents as a Commissioner for Oaths, AB.
We Can Help U and their team can help you get any business service happening for you or your company.

As a company owner with some health issues (and low motivation) Liz has helped to revive our company, worked with me to prepare our overdue GST and Tax Returns to send to our accountant for completion.
Throughout it all, Liz and I have laughed, talked things through and moved everything forward to get the job done. I would recommend her and the team to Help U anytime.
- David B
Liz helped me with my divorce. I first met Liz when she was working at the Registry and she helped my family to settle into Calgary life. I called her last year to tell me what to do about divorce.
She and I filled out the necessary papers, due to COVID-19, we had a six-month delay in processing, but we finally had success. I can continue on with my life, safe and secure in my free life in Canada.
- Amal E
I have been dealing with Liz for over 10 years. In my dealings I have found Liz to be personable, attentive to details and very pleasant to work with. I would recommend Liz to my clients.
