This session explores how a Power of Attorney for Personal Care functions in Ontario—beginning with the legal framework and moving into how these directives are interpreted in real-world hospital settings. Estate lawyer Angela Fallow, LL.B., TEP (Fallow Gould LLP) draws on nearly two decades of experience in wills and estates law to explain how to properly draft and implement this essential document. She is joined by Dr. Daniel Howes, Medical Director at Queen’s University and CEO of Custodius, who shares a physician’s perspective on interpreting and applying a client’s personal care wishes during medical crises. Together, they provide both the legal and clinical insights needed to ensure that someone you trust can act on your wishes and needs when you can no longer do so yourself due to illness, injury, or incapacity.
