What is a Power of Attorney?
A power of attorney is a legal document that gives another person the power to take care of your financial and legal matters for you. The person you give this power to is called the “attorney,” and you are called the “donor.” (Here, “attorney” does not mean lawyer.)
The BCCEAS Elder Law Clinic: Needs Assessment and Business Plan Cover
In July 2008 BCCEAS opened the first legal clinic for older adults in Western Canada. During the year leading up to the opening of the Clinic, extensive research was conducted in order to determine the optimum service delivery model, best practices, and service priorities for this clinic (the “Needs Assessment”). This report summarizes the results of the research and sets out a business plan for the Clinic based on the needs identified by this research.
This twenty-five page report was Prepared by Pearl McKenzie in February, 2005. It summarizes the research work conducted by BCCEAS, barriers and problems faced, and recommendations for training and collaboration between police and designated agency staff and for further protocol or guideline development.
