An Enduring Power of Attorney
A Personal Directive - A Will: A legal Toolkit
Planning for a disability or death is never pleasant. However, it is an important part of identifying what you want done when something like this happens to you and helping those around you carry out your wishes. An enduring power of attorney, a personal directive, and a will are basic to building your plan. With them you can set out respectively:
* How you want your estate to be dealt with at your death
* Who will handle your financial affairs and how, if you become mentally incompetent
* If you become mentally incompetent, who will handle your medical and other personal life decisions and the kinds of choices they make for you

Time: 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm
Cost: $15.00
Information and Identity Theft and Law
Driver's license information, SIN number, credit cards, medical records, banking information, passport...
There's a whole identity out there made up of information about you, much of it stored on electronic databases. If that identity is stolen, or your information gets into the wrong hands some other way, or if the information is wrong, the results can be serious.
This presentation provides a general overview of legal issues related to your information/identity.
Questions for discussion include:
* Do you have to give your personal information; and if so when and to whom?
* What can you do if information is wrong; if somebody gives out information about you when they shouldn't; if somebody steals your information
* Does it make a difference if your information is collected or stored somewhere outside Alberta or Canada?
Date: February 8 (Wednesday)
Time: 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm
Cost: $15.00
Separation and Divorce

* Spousal maintenance-the extent to which one separating or divorcing spouse will have to support the other
* Matrimonial property-how the property will be divided
