Personal Planning Forum

Personal planning involves making arrangements, in case you need help managing your affairs during your lifetime due to an illness, injury, or disability. Personal planning differs from estate planning, which is about making arrangements for after your death. Personal planning covers all areas of your life: health care, personal care, legal affairs and financial affairs. Please use this forum as an opportunity to discuss personal planning topics, ask questions, and share your stories. For more information on Personal Planning, visit www.nidus.ca

In British Columbia, personal planning is for all adults, based on their need for support not their competence. This is important for my son, who does not speak. As his legal representative I can help him be his own person and protect his rights. This provides an alternative to adult guardianship which would remove his rights and declare him a non-person.

Personal Planning - It's about dignity and respect.

Personal planning gives us peace of mind. As a caregiver, my main concern is to ensure quality-of-life to the end-of-life at home or in a facility. And if something happens to me, I need to know someone else can carry on with no disruption in care for my loved one.

A Representation Agreement is a legal document for personal planning in British Columbia. It is a way to authorize your personal supporters to help you manage your affairs or make decisions on your behalf if you need assistance due to illness, injury or disability.

A Representation Agreement is the only way to authorize someone to assist you or to act on your behalf for health care and personal care matters. It can also cover routine financial affairs and legal matters. Visit the Nidus Personal Planning Resource Centre and Registry for more information on Representation Agreements and other personal planning documents.
