If you were incapacitated tomorrow, who has the legal authority to manage your finances, pay your bills, and protect what you have built?
A Power of Attorney for Property gives a trusted person the legal authority to manage your financial affairs and property on your behalf — if you are ever unable to do so yourself. Without one, your family may be unable to access accounts, pay your mortgage, or act on your behalf without a court order.
Financial authority when your family needs it most
A Power of Attorney for Property does not take effect when you die — your will handles that. It takes effect when you are alive but unable to manage your own financial affairs. That distinction matters more than most people realise.
Bank Accounts and Finances
Your appointed person can access your accounts, manage day-to-day banking, pay bills, and ensure your household continues to function financially. Without this authority, even a spouse may face significant obstacles accessing joint or individual accounts during a medical emergency.
Property and Real Estate
Your POA holder can manage, maintain, or make decisions about your property — including paying a mortgage, dealing with a landlord or tenant, or handling a property transaction if required.
Investments and Assets
Your POA holder can manage your investment accounts, respond to financial institutions, and take necessary steps to protect your portfolio — acting strictly within the scope you define in the document.
Business Interests
If you own or co-own a business, a POA for Property can ensure your interests are protected and your operational obligations can be met while you are unable to act.
Wealth in Islam is an Amanah — a trust. Protect it with the right person.
In Islam, wealth is not yours alone — it carries obligations to your family, your creditors, and those who depend on you. If you are incapacitated and no one has legal authority to manage your finances, those obligations may go unmet through no fault of your own.
A Power of Attorney for Property is the Islamic act of appointing a trusted steward — someone with the legal authority to protect what you have, fulfil your obligations, and manage your affairs according to your values and instructions.
It also protects your family from the painful and expensive process of applying to court for authority to manage your finances — a process that can take months, cost significantly, and create conflict at exactly the wrong moment.
Your POA gives them authority. Your Vault tells them where everything is.
A Power of Attorney gives your appointed person the legal right to act. But they still need to know where your accounts are, what your assets are, and what your instructions are for specific financial decisions. That is what the Vault is for.
Estate Inventory
Store a complete record of your accounts, assets, property, and financial holdings — so the person acting on your behalf can find everything they need without searching, guessing, or losing time during a crisis.
Explore Estate Inventory →Financial Instructions
Record specific guidance for your POA holder — which accounts to prioritise, how your business should be managed, what debts need attention, and any preferences that should guide their decisions.
Obligations Register
Document the debts and financial obligations your estate will need to settle — so nothing is missed and no creditor is left without clarity. In Islam, unpaid debts are among the most serious matters to resolve.
Explore Obligations Register →Legally valid under Ontario law
Your Power of Attorney for Property is structured to meet Ontario's legal requirements — including proper execution, the scope of authority granted, and the conditions under which it takes effect. It is not a generic template. It is prepared with the Canadian legal framework as the foundation.

Property is one half. Personal care decisions need protection too.
