What happens if you have more than one attorney?
If more than one attorney is appointed, disagreements between them may lead to delays in the management of your financial matters. If your POA is not up-to-date it may not align with your current financial needs and your choice of attorney may no longer be appropriate.
What is it called when you appoint someone to act for you?
The person you appoint to act for you under a POA is called an "attorney". Appointing someone to act for you as an attorney is a serious and important decision. When you provide a POA to us for managing your accounts or business with you, you agree to have that other person give us instructions or transact for you.
Can an attorney make a will?
Your attorney is responsible to act in your best interests and must follow the conditions you set out in the POA. Your attorney cannot make a Will for you, change your existing Will, change a beneficiary on a life insurance plan or a registered plan or similar product or give a new POA to someone else on your behalf.
TN NAFTA Professionals
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) created special economic and trade relationships for the United States, Canada and Mexico. The TN nonimmigrant classification permits qualified Canadian and Mexican citizens to seek temporary entry into the United States to engage in business activities at a professional level.
Eligibility Criteria
Unlike Mexican citizens, Canadian citizens are generally eligible for admission as nonimmigrants without a visa. The TN category, a nonimmigrant classification, simply reflects this general exemption from the visa requirement.
Canadian Citizens
If you are a Canadian citizen, then you are not required to apply for a TN visa at a U.S. consulate.
Mexican Citizens
If you are a Mexican citizen, then you are required to obtain a visa to enter the United States as a TN nonimmigrant. You should apply for a TN visa directly at a U.S. embassy or consulate in Mexico. See the U.S. Department of State webpage, " Mexican and Canadian NAFTA Professional Worker ."
Dependents of TN Nonimmigrants
Any accompanying or “following to join” spouse and children under the age of 21 may be eligible for TD nonimmigrant status. Spouses and children are:
