Question: I gave my Power of At- tomey to my stepson the last time I went into hospital so that he could put my pension cheque into my bank account and pay my rent and utilities while I was out of com- mission.

Thousands of Canadians are waiting for the gift of a life-saving transplant.

The Kidney Foundation of Canada urges you to sign an organ donor card.

i have recently come to realize

that this young man is not as trustworthy as ! once thought and 1 would prefer to give my Power of Attorney to someone else. How do I do this? Answer: A Power of Attorney is easily terminated by giving notice to the person you empowered to act for you (in this case your step- son) and to anyone your stepson may have contacted on your behalf.

You should give this notice in writing on a form called ‘‘revoca- tion of Power of Attorney,” available at any notary or lawyer’s office. Or, if the Power of At- torney is only for your bank ac- count, ask your bank about cancelling it.
