Power of Attorney for Common-Law Couples in British Columbia
Create your power of attorney online, designed to meet British Columbia’s requirements — written with common-law couples in mind.
What common-law couples should know
- Common-law partners are often NOT automatically protected by intestacy rules — which makes a will more urgent, not less.
- In many jurisdictions a common-law partner does not inherit automatically without a will.
- Name each other expressly, and name each other as attorney for property and personal care.
- Without documents in place, your partner may have no authority to act for you in a medical emergency.
- British Columbia follows British Columbia requirements — a power of attorney has its own formalities, which are not the same as those for a will.
