What is included in the New Brunswick Estate Planning Package?

Designed specifically for residents of the Province of New Brunswick, this convenient downloadable package includes all of these professionally prepared templates:

1. New Brunswick Enduring Power of Attorney for Property

The Enduring Power of Attorney for Property allows you to appoint a trusted person (your attorney) to manage your financial and property matters if you are unable or choose not to manage them yourself.

This document can help ensure that someone you trust has the authority to handle important financial and legal matters, including:

• Managing bank accounts and investments
• Paying bills and expenses
• Handling real estate and property matters
• Managing business and financial transactions
• Dealing with government agencies and other organizations

An Enduring Power of Attorney is an important part of your estate plan because it allows you to choose who will act on your behalf rather than leaving decisions to be made without your input.

2. New Brunswick Revocation of Power of Attorney Form

This Revocation of Power of Attorney form allows you to formally cancel a previously granted Power of Attorney.

Use this document when you want to terminate an existing appointment and no longer wish the named attorney to have authority to act on your behalf.

3. New Brunswick Power of Attorney for Personal Care

The Power of Attorney for Personal Care gives you an opportunity to name someone you trust to act as your agent, who will make health care and personal care decisions for you if you lack the capacity to do so.

You can address important personal matters in this document, including:

• Medical treatment preferences
• Health care decisions
• Living arrangements
• Personal care choices

4. New Brunswick Advance Health Care Directive

The Advance Health Care Directive is a document that allows you to set out your wishes and instructions regarding the types of medical treatment, procedures and medications you do or do not want to have administered to you in the event that you become unable to communicate those instructions, whether because of injury or illness.

Why do you need to prepare an estate plan?

Many people put off estate planning because they assume it is only necessary for older adults or people with significant assets. In reality, every adult can benefit from having documents that explain their wishes and appoint trusted decision-makers.

Without proper planning, your family may face additional stress, delays, or uncertainty when dealing with your financial affairs, health care decisions, or estate administration.

A complete New Brunswick estate plan can help you:

• Protect your family and loved ones
• Maintain control over important decisions
• Choose who manages your affairs if you cannot
• Clearly communicate your wishes
• Make future decisions easier for those close to you
