Adult Guardianship

If your family member is no longer capable of making financial or personal care decisions, you may need court-appointed authority to be their guardian of property or personal care. Seniors with dementia and adults with serious mental illness or who suffer head injuries are often left without a power of attorney (POA) to manage their financial affairs. Unless a family member or someone else steps up, a health assessor who decides your loved one is mentally incapable may appoint the Ontario Public Guardian and Trustee (OPGT) as their statutory guardian. You can take responsibility for assisting them by applying to be their guardian in place of the OPGT.

What is guardianship planning?

Do you need guardianship if you have power of attorney (POA)? No, because a POA is created while an adult is capable of making decisions, but wants assistance managing day-to-day affairs like paying bills or is planning ahead for a day when they could be incapacitated. POA appointments are based on choice. Guardians are court appointed when someone who is mentally incapable doesn’t have a POA to represent their interests and can’t express their personal preferences.

Who Can Be a Guardian?

Any adult over 18 with the person’s interests at heart can make a guardianship application. Although trust companies can be appointed, usually a guardian is a loved one or friend who is trustworthy, has a close relationship with them and can manage finances responsibly. Courts or the OPGT hear from spouses, relatives or friends and the person can speak on their own behalf or have a lawyer do so. If you are unsure you are doing the right thing, you can ask for someone to be assessed, provided they don’t have a POA and don’t object. If you decide after the fact that you prefer not to be guardian, you can resign.

What can your Power of Attorney Do?

Your POA can make decisions about:

Your nutrition

Your personal hygeine

Your clothing

Your shelter and personal safety

What our customers say about us

We worked with Jaz for setting up our Will and POA. He is very knowledgeable and answered our questions with patience and understanding.

★★★★★ 5/5

It was a smooth and painless experience. Very quick and to the point. Would highly recommend this to anyone needing a will or estate planning.

★★★★★ 5/5

My brother and I got our wills done during the free Oct Will month. We got excellent service by Pratheeb Uthayakumar, Marc Marcos and Nicole. Very professional, efficient and responsive. I recommend them to all. Thank you Axess.

★★★★★ 5/5

This was such a no brainer for us. We did 2 wills and Powers of Attorney in under 2 hours. Of course it was relatively basic as they do not do foreign and tax and estate work.

★★★★★ 5/5

My wife and I utilized Axess Law for creating our mirror wills and POAs. The process was extremely efficient and simple. Being able to do the initial meeting virtually is also extremely helpful. The entire meeting took just over an hour for both my wife and I. It was then about another 30 minutes to actually go to their office to get the documents signed and witnessed.

★★★★★ 5/5

We are rated 4.9/5 based on 1,475 reviews.

Some FAQs

Should I get a RRSP Mortgage?

If you have a substantial self-directed RRSP and don’t mind paying higher interest rates, consider holding your principal residence mortgage in your RRSP. You get a low ratio mortgage in return (with a 20% down payment), but pay yourself interest instead of your banker.

Axess Law recommends RRSP mortgages as part of a diversified portfolio. You’ll have to factor in setup fees and charges to administer the RRSP annually, Plus CMHC mortgage loan insurance is mandatory, extra expense for you.

Why do I need a lawyer?

Axess Law lawyers are notary publics and can witness and sign statutory declarations or mortgage discharge papers you may need to finalize your new home’s financing. Your mortgage registration or discharging a mortgage in Ontario is complete in a week or so. We research your property title and point out problems like mistakes on property surveys or records that can cost you dearly, now or in the future when you go to sell. Only a lawyer or notary lawyer can complete real estate deals in Ontario. Axess Law is available when you are, 7 days a week, day or evening, online or in-person for a sage mortgage and home buying legal advice.

How do Axess Law mortgage lawyers help me?

Our mortgage lawyers partner with your bank or lending institution to make your housing dreams a reality and close real estate transactions using RRSP investments.

How can I maximize my RRSP withdrawal?

You can maximize your RRSP withdrawal by applying for a Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Genworth Financial, or Canada Guaranty high ratio mortgage and keeping your down payment as low as possible. You’ll pay more interest than with conventional mortgages, but have the added advantage of knowing your payments are more affordable, just when you need mortgage relief the most.

Do co-shared homes use RRSPs?

Co-sharing makes the most of your mortgage money. As long as you have a strategy for how shares in your new investment will be divvied up or bought out in case of a split-up, co-sharing can keep your home buying expenses way down. Just in case, protect your interests by having Axess Law draft a cohabitation agreement for you.
