Inter-jurisdictional Issues - When common law is not so common
The majority of issues raised in "elder law" in Canada are different in each province / territory. However, many Canadians hold property, visit family, or retire to other jurisdictions. Our laws are jurisdictionally bound, but our clients are not! This seminar will focus broadly on challenges to inter-jurisdictional clients, and then will focus on good practice in the area of planning documents, such as financial powers of attorney and advance care planning.
Learning Objectives:
- recognizing the challenges of addressing aging issues that are impacted by both federal and provincial legislation
- understanding the advantages and disadvantages of having more than one set of documents
- awareness of how inter-jurisdictional issues can give rise to elder abuse
- myth-busting common misconceptions regarding jurisdictional issues and advance planning documents

- This is NOT a timed quiz. Take all the time you need to consider the question and make your best selection.
- Be attentive to questions asking which statement is NOT correct, or if all statements are correct EXCEPT.
- If you have read the question carefully, your first impression of the correct answer is usually the right choice to make.
