Frequently Asked Questions

Common inquiries about senior legal services in Canada

Specialized legal support helps seniors navigate complex laws related to wills, powers of attorney, health care directives and guardianship, ensuring their wishes are documented accurately and their rights are protected.
At Senivoraline, we guide you through gathering necessary information, outlining your assets and beneficiaries, drafting clear instructions and reviewing the document to reflect your current wishes under Ontario law.
A power of attorney is a legal document that designates someone you trust to make financial or personal care decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so, helping prevent disputes and ensuring your affairs continue to be managed.
A health care directive, also known as a living will, records your treatment preferences and names a decision maker for medical care. We help draft this directive to match your values and communicate it clearly to your medical team.
Protection starts with early planning: appointing trusted decision makers, monitoring finances and arranging regular check-ins. Senivoraline can connect you to community resources and legal measures like restraining orders if needed.
Guardianship is considered if a senior cannot manage personal or financial affairs. We explain application requirements, the court process in Ontario and help you compile medical assessments and supporting evidence.
We assist in structuring transfers through proper deeds, joint ownership or trusts, reviewing tax implications and ensuring each step follows provincial regulations to reduce delays or confusion for your heirs.
While Senivoraline isn’t a government office, we can advise where to find provincial programs like the Ontario Guaranteed Annual Income System and assist with documentation to support your applications.
Many disputes can be addressed through mediation or negotiated settlement. We facilitate discussions, draft settlement agreements and help parties reach an understanding without lengthy court proceedings.
Our transparent fee structure is based on the scope of work. After an initial consultation, you receive a written estimate detailing hourly or flat rates for each legal service you choose.
