In Ontario there are 3 types of Power of Attorney

Continuing Power of Attorney for Property is a legal document which authorizes your appointed person (the “attorney”) to deal with your financial affairs and allows this person to act for you even if you become mentally incapable. The appointed person can act on your behalf in any financial matter, except making a Will. It is important that the attorney be trustworthy and act in your best interest.  The attorney has a legal obligation to act in your best interest and can be called upon to explain his or her actions in court if there are concerns.

Non-continuing or limited Power of Attorney for Property is generally used for a specific matter or time period to address your financial affairs but cannot be used if you become mentally incapable. This is a document that you might use if you are going out of the country for a period of time and needed someone to act for you in your absence (i.e. to sign documents for a real estate transaction). Your appointed attorney will act on your behalf regarding the matters or for the time period specified in the document.

Power of Attorney for Personal Care authorizes your appointed attorney to act on your behalf regarding personal decisions, such as health care (i.e. medical authorization for a given procedure or additional assistance in daily living matters).

Highly recommended!We used Beffa Law's help with legal services on several occasions during the past few years: estate... planning, immigration, real estate, and notary services. Each time Monica & team made the experience seamless and quick, because they are very knowledgeable and efficient.Law in general can be quite confusing (maybe even intimidating?) and as a client it was very comforting to have the professionals at Beffa Law provide step-by-step guidance and advice.Thank you, team for your help during these years!read more

We had such a great experience with Beffa Law. Real estate law can be very confusing and, as a real estate client, the... firm helped us draft up legal documents in no time at all. We also did 2 wills which took a lot of understanding on our side and we’re so easily guided through the process. We even did power of attorneys which were very helpful and done fast. We will surely recommend Beffa Law for future clients.read more

We needed their services for a property acquisition and the whole process was smooth. Obviously there were some issues... from the seller side and Monica took care of them so we didn't "feel the pain".Anyhow, most of us are working "9 to 5" but Monica is working when you need her (we signed the documents after OUR working hours, when we were available).read more

We had the pleasure of working with Monica when we bought our first home in Canada.She was initially recommended to us... via a social network when we were looking for assistance on a totally different legal situation, so when we meet her face-to-face, we had the chance to better connect and realize she is a match for all our existent and potential legal issues, so we kept in touch.When we bought our first home, as ‘newcomers’ from and into a different country, we had of course many questions (some silly ones also), but we did appreciated that she and Shirisha (one of her employees), took the time to always get back to us and address all our queries. They were professional, advised us on the best course of action and our transaction was successfully completed without any issues.We are strongly recommend Beffa Law for any legal related situation.Thank you!!!Madaread more

Monica Beffa and her team recently helped us sell our house. We had no idea what to expect from the entire experience... and, frankly, were slightly terrified of the legal side of things. We had many questions, some quite silly, but Monica's patience was absolutely incredible. Her pleasant and reassuring manner were so appreciated at such a stressful time! Her team is also extraordinarily responsive, an absolute pleasure to work with. Together, they helped make the transaction a quick, painless experience. We have recommended their services to some of our closest friends, will continue to do so, and will absolutely return to them for any future legal needs. Adriana & George D.read more
