The "Power of Attorney", sure is a powerful paper, if used in the right way and at the right time. It is advantageous to keep several copies of PoAs in your safety because you don't know when you may need one, especially during crucial times. There are many estate lawyer in Ottawa that you can trust to furnish your PoA paper for very important matters.
I first have known its importance when my brother and I bought new houses for each of us. With the help of the law firm, Ottawa, Ontario who attested the PoA, the legal processing of the houses are made easier. We even get a discount for the houses because my brother is a soldier and they are given such benefits.
