==Why make an enduring power of attorney?==
With an enduring power of attorney, you decide who will look after your legal and financial affairs if you become incapable. Without an enduring power of attorney, if you become incapable, someone (such as your spouse or other family member) may have to apply to BC Supreme Court to be appointed your committee of estate (explained in script [[Committeeship (Script 426)|426]]) to look after your legal and financial affairs. You have more control if you make an enduring power of attorney. And it costs much less than going to court to appoint a committee.
