KEYNOTE
Brighter futures. One home at a time.
Val Wilson Editor-in-Chief
n my experience with the BC Notaries over the years, I have found that individuals who choose the Notary profession do so for many reasons—including • a strong interest in the law; • the wish to work with people; • the desire to make a difference; and • the career goal of independence as entrepreneurs with a measure of control over their time.
Notaries build client relationships that beget relationships. Families enjoy working with their neighbourhood Notary and often recommend the Notary’s services to other family members and their friends, too. Having your personal papers in place—a Will, a Representation Agreement, an Advance Health Care Directive, and a Power of Attorney (W.R.A.P.)—provides the peace of mind that comes with knowing your assets will be distributed according to your wishes and your loved ones have been given due consideration for the time when you are no longer with them.
