Despite their great value, powers of attorney to manage the affairs of incapable persons always have the potential for abuse, especially financial abuse. Powers of Attorney and Capacity: Practice and Procedure is a successor to Guide to Powers of Attorney, and expands upon the depth and breadth of the original book to help you to understand and navigate the issues that arise.

With contributions from Bob Aaron (Aaron and Aaron), Rachel Blumenfeld (Miller Thomson), and Marshall Swadron (Swadron Associates), Powers of Attorney and Capacity: Practice and Procedure covers the legal issues and supplies the law and helpful tips to deal with them. Few of the topics that this title covers:

• Contains detailed forms and precedents
• Sets out the relevant law, background, and analysis by the author, and other expert contributors
• Includes new material on the powers of attorney in real estate and corporate matters, including fraudulently obtained powers of attorney
• Contains new chapter on issues relating to capacity and assessments
• Expands on Consent and Capacity Board procedure and decisions
