(BC Only)
Firstly, it is important to note that a representation agreement is only needed in British Columbia. Secondly, this document is required for personal care planning. It is a legally enforceable document used when a person is incapacitated, entering palliative care (i.e. nearing their end-of-life), or require other support for their health care.
When making a Representation Agreement, please remember these things:
- You must be a legal adult (i.e. 19 years or older in age)
- A representative has legal authority to help you manage your affairs and carry out your wishes if you need temporary or ongoing assistance — due to illness, injury or disabilit
- A representation agreement may also be used to cover routine financial affairs and legal matters.
To make a representation agreement, you will need to contact a legal professional and they can assist you in getting one drafted and finalized.
