Many seniors find themselves with life insurance policies they no longer need or can no longer afford. Rather than lapsing or surrendering the policy for little to no value, there’s an alternative: life settlements and life advances. This process can transform an unwanted policy into immediate cash, offering financial flexibility and peace of mind.
Planning for the future and ensuring that your estate is managed and distributed according to your wishes is a critical aspect of retirement planning. For seniors in Canada, understanding the nuances of inheritance laws is essential. These laws not only determine how your assets will be handled after your passing but also impact your family’s financial security and emotional well-being. Here’s a detailed guide to help Canadian seniors navigate the complexities of inheritance laws and make informed decisions about estate management.
Power of Attorney (POA) in Canada is a legal document that grants one person (the “attorney”) the authority to make decisions on behalf of another person (the “donor”) regarding financial, property, or medical matters. It comes into play if the donor becomes incapacitated or unable to manage their affairs.
Living Wills, also known as advance directives, are legal documents that outline a person’s wishes regarding medical treatment and care if they become incapable of communicating these decisions due to illness or incapacity.
