John, you wrote:we are to add more costs into our medical coverage, now we need an attorney to represent us I believe that refers to my statement: It is wise to also appoint an attorney for personal care No additional costs are incurred. There is a difference in usage of the term "attorney" in Canada. In the U.S. I believe that the term generally applies to a lawyer who is paid for a service. In Canada the person to whom you give power of attorney for personal care need not be a lawyer. The person appointed can be anyone 16 years of age or older (subject to some restrictions). The power of attorney becomes effective when a doctor or evaluator determines that you are incapable of making a decision. This is also when an advanced directive becomes effective.
