Summary
Naming someone as your executor or power of attorney is a huge responsibility—and many Canadians haven’t even made a will or chosen anyone yet. If you do, talk to your potential appointee first: make sure they’re willing and able. Always name an alternate, ideally someone younger, and tell them they’re on the list. Most power of attorney documents are “enduring,” kicking in immediately, so the appointed person must know where the originals are stored. Clear, upfront family conversations prevent chaos—and if no one’s available, trust companies can step in, though they can’t handle healthcare decisions.
