When was the last time you reviewed your Will, Enduring Power of Attorney, or Personal Directive? Last week/last year/ten years ago??? With every client I see to prepare Wills, Enduring Powers of Attorney, and Personal Directives, I give this piece advice: On January 1 of each and every year, you should take out your Will, Enduring Power of Attorney and Personal Directive, and read them over to make sure everything is still as you would like it to be.

Latest blog post :) Enjoy.

What is a Real Property Report and why should it be important to you? If you are buying or selling a detached home in Alberta, you will likely hear your realtor talk about a 'real property report' or what is sometimes simply called, an 'RPR'. A clause in the standard Alberta Residential Purchase Contract states that: "Closing documents will include an RPR showing the current improvements on the Property according to the Alberta Land Surveyor's Association Manual of Standard Practice, with evidence of municipal compliance or non-conformance and confirming the seller's warranties about the land and buildings[...]The buyer or buyer's lawyer must have a reasonable time to review the RPR prior to submitting the transfer documents to the Land Titles Office."

The Other Side of the Coin There are two other documents that I typically recommend when I meet with a client to prepare a Will. These documents are the Enduring Power of Attorney and Personal Directive (sometimes also called a living will). These documents are arguably more important than a Will in that they dictate who has the authority to make decisions regarding your personal and financial care while you are still alive while a Will doesnt take effect until after you die.

A few months ago I was extremely lucky to have been able to attend the National Leadership Conference for Professional Women. To be quite honest I had no idea what to expect from the conference but since it was in my home town this year, I decided to give it a chance. While trying not to overstate things, I will say that it definitely impacted my whole life and the very way in which I view the world.
