Connecticut residents, plan for unforeseen future events with this Durable Statutory Long Form Power of Attorney.

This legal document allows you to appoint an agent (attorney) to manage your finances, property and business affairs if you become unable to do so yourself.

Immediate and Durable Authority

This power of attorney is considered "durable," meaning it remains effective even if you become incapacitated. Unless you specify otherwise, the authority granted to your attorney-in-fact (also known as your agent) begins immediately upon signing.

You may authorize your agent to handle a wide range of matters on your behalf, including:

• Real estate property transactions

• Pension and employment benefits
• Tax and legal affairs
• Business affairs and operations

Not a Health Care Power of Attorney

It is important to note that this Power of Attorney does not grant your attorney-in-fact the authority to make health care or medical decisions for you. To address healthcare-related matters, you should consider preparing an Advance Health Care Directive.

Form Features and Usage

What is included in the British Columbia Estate Planning Package?

Designed specifically for British Columbia residents, this convenient downloadable package includes the following professionally prepared templates:

1. British Columbia Enduring Power of Attorney

The Enduring Power of Attorney lets you name someone you trust to manage your property and financial affairs on your behalf, if you are unable to or you choose not to manage them yourself.

Your Power of Attorney gives your attorney the power to make the decisions and take the actions involving your financial or legal affairs that you can do for yourself. This can include a range of transactions, including:

• managing your banking and investment accounts
• running your business
• doing your income tax
• obtaining insurance
• buying or selling real estate and personal property (such as vehicles)

The Enduring Power of Attorney is an important part of a B.C. complete 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. British Columbia 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. British Columbia Section 9 (Enhanced) Representation Agreement with Limited and General Powers

The Section 9 Representation Agreement (Enhanced) (also called an RA9) gives you the means to appoint a representative as your agent, to make major health care and personal care decisions for you if you become unable to do so. This template is prepared in accordance with Section 9 of the Representation Agreement Act.

This document lets you grant your agent broad powers to make decisions about your healthcare and living situation, such as:

• if and where you can work
• who you can have contact with
• what types of social and physical activities you participate in

The RA9 form does NOT give your agent the authority to manage your finances, business or legal affairs.
