  • Procuration – Considérations pratiques
    Feb 6 2025
    Les gens pensent souvent qu'ils n'ont pas besoin d'une procuration; ils estiment que cela ne concerne que les personnes âgées. Pourtant, tout le monde devrait envisager d'en avoir une, surtout lorsqu'on est encore capable d'exprimer ses souhaits. Nous allons discuter de ce qu'est une procuration, de ce qu'il faut savoir pour en choisir une, des rôles, responsabilités et obligations, des protections que vous pouvez mettre en place pour vous protéger, ainsi que des options à envisager si l'agent désigné n'agit pas dans votre meilleur intérêt. À noter, chaque province et territoire dispose de législations spécifiques en matière de procuration. Aujourd’hui nous allons nous focaliser sur l’Ontario mais nous vous encourageons à vous renseigner sur votre propre juridiction si vous résidez ailleurs. ______________________________ Ressources de l’épisode Pour obtenir des information au sujet des procurations et du droit: Centre d’information juridique de l’Ontariohttps://centreinfojuridique.ca/ 1-844-343-7462 CliquezJustice.ca : un portail canadien d’information simplifiée qui vous aide à comprendre vos droits et obligations pour mieux gérer vos situations juridiques du quotidien.
