REAL ESTATE FRAUD

Do I Need a Power of Attorney?

Protect Yourself from Real Estate Fraud

What is a power of attorney?

What is Real Estate Fraud?

A power of attorney (“POA”) appoints someone to make decisions for you when you cannot as set out in the Powers of Attorney Act.

A power of attorney (“POA”) appoints someone to make decisions for you when you cannot as set out in the Powers of Attorney Act

Real estate fraud can take many forms. The most egregious form of fraud involves title to your property being transferred so you are no longer listed as the owner. Other forms include mortgage fraud that allows fraudsters to pocket cash from unsuspecting lenders.

How to Protect Against Real Estate Fraud?

Real estate transactions in Ontario are highly secure. Teraview is the government regulated platform where all real estate transactions are completed. There is a complex and sophisticated procedure to be approved to use the Teraview system. Any transfer of property requires a lawyer that is licensed to practice law in Ontario by the Law Society of Ontario, insured for real estate transactions by the Lawyers’ Professional Indemnity Company and approved by Teraview. There are a number of safeguards that a qualified lawyer and their staff must complete on all real estate transaction.

You must make a POA (sign and witness the document) while you are mentally capable. A person over the age of 18 is presumed to have the mental capability to make a power of attorney. However, this is important are in an accident and in a coma, or if you are diagnosed with dementia, it will be too late for you to make a POA; you need to do it while you are still healthy and have

The Substitute Decision Act states that an attorney appointed under a POA must make decisions that are in the best interest of the person giving the POA.

Lawyers often draft POAs at the same time as your Last Will and Testament. The POA appoints someone to act for you while you are alive; your Last Will and Testament deals with your estate after you die.

What are the “do’s” and “don’ts” for a power of attorney?

Even with all of these safeguards, there are times when the system has been breached by sophisticated operatives, people whose only goal is to scam and cheat people out of their property and money.

• Contact a lawyer to give your instructions to create your power of attorney
