Elder Law BC — Incapacity Planning, Adult Guardianship and Senior Legal Rights. Elder law covers the legal issues most relevant to BC seniors and aging adults: capacity planning, adult guardianship, grey divorce, pension division, long-term spousal support, estate planning, elder financial abuse, and care facility rights. An Enduring Power of Attorney authorizes someone to manage your financial and legal affairs if you lose capacity. A Representation Agreement authorizes someone to make healthcare and personal-care decisions on your behalf. Both documents are needed for complete incapacity planning in BC. Without these documents, a family member must apply to the BC Supreme Court for a Committee Order — adult guardianship — which is a slow and expensive court process. Elder financial abuse is the fastest-growing form of elder mistreatment in BC. Common signs include unexplained withdrawals, sudden changes to a will or Power of Attorney, and caregiver control over finances. BC has both civil and criminal remedies. Grey divorce — separation after age 50 — raises unique issues around pension division, retirement savings, and indefinite spousal support. Care facility residents in BC have legally protected rights to dignity, privacy, visitors, and care decisions.
