Linda Caisley, BC Notary Public

I’m Linda Caisley, a BC Notary Public, author and educator with more than 40 years of experience in the legal profession.

I write about the legal issues that affect people and families, particularly estate planning, Powers of Attorney, capacity and the responsibilities that come with making decisions for others.

My goal is to make complicated legal topics easier to understand by sharing practical information, real-world experience and a little common sense.
