I guess it works differently here in Canada. I had to get a power of attorney for my husband last year, He had advanced Parkinson's and was no longer able to speak or sign his name but his mind was not affected at all. The lawyer came to our home, brought a witness and made up the POW. When the documents were ready he gave me a number of notarized copies. Evidently there's no registration involved here. The total cost was $339 Canadian which is about 210 pounds. |

I decided to have our forms posted out rather then print them off online. Asked on sunday online for them to be sent out and they arrived this morning. All 60 pages. I peaked at them, put them back in envelope. Think I will have to put a day aside to fill them in. |

OH and I took one out for each other many years ago after a friend's husband ( aged 53) had a devastating stroke and unbeknown to her she was unable to act for her now seriously disabled husband. It ended up with her having to apply to the family court in order for her to act on his behalf. You never know when tragedy may strike, so better to be safe than sorry. |

Plus its at a time when you could do without all the hassle. Also I believe it costs more when you have to apply to the family court. |
