Community Workshop

Workshop 2: Executors and Powers of Attorney

Planning does not end with writing a document. This workshop focuses on the people who act — during incapacity and after death. We clarify the distinct roles of executors and attorneys for property and personal care, outline their responsibilities, and discuss the practical realities they face. Through guided examples, we explore how organization, communication, and thoughtful appointment can reduce confusion, conflict, and burden.

The session is designed to be practical and accessible, with time for questions throughout. You are encouraged to bring a notebook and to engage at your own pace. You are not required to share personal details, and you are not expected to decide anything during the session.

This is a community education session offered by St. Joseph's Foundation of Thunder Bay. The material is presented in a guided, educational format and may include perspectives drawn from legal, financial, or estate-planning practice, without providing individualized advice.

The session is designed to be respectful, non-intrusive, and accessible. Participants are asked not to share personal, financial, or family details during the workshop and to reserve private situations for conversations outside the session.

This workshop is provided for general education and information only. It is not legal, financial, or tax advice and does not replace guidance from a qualified professional.
