Setting up power of attorney in Moncton? It protects you long before it's needed.

Power of Attorney Lawyer in Moncton — what to expect

A power of attorney in New Brunswick lets someone you trust manage your finances or make personal care decisions if you can't — but a poorly drafted one is either too restrictive to be useful or too broad to be safe.

Our Moncton team drafts both property and personal care powers of attorney with clear, specific authority — not a blanket document that leaves your attorney (or your family) guessing what you actually wanted. We also advise on safeguards like joint attorneys or reporting requirements for clients concerned about financial abuse, a real risk New Brunswick's courts see often enough to take seriously.

What this can cover

  • Power of attorney for property/finances
  • Power of attorney for personal care/health decisions
  • Safeguards against financial abuse
  • Guidance for attorneys on their legal duties

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Questions Moncton clients ask first

What's the difference between the two types of power of attorney?

Property POA covers finances and assets; personal care POA covers health and living decisions — New Brunswick treats them as separate documents.

Can I limit what my attorney is allowed to do?

Yes — a well-drafted POA can restrict authority to specific decisions or require a second person’s sign-off, rather than granting unlimited power.

What happens if I don't have a power of attorney and lose capacity?

A family member typically has to apply to Moncton Law Courts for guardianship, which is slower, more expensive, and more public than having a POA in place beforehand.
