Saskatchewan’s Legal  Information Guidelines support connecting members of the public with legal information.  \nLegal Information Sources, Options for Assistance, and Self-Help Tools  \nHelping members of the public recognize their legal problems is important. Being aware of potential legal problems can help people avoid that legal problem or help them deal with one before it gets more serious. When someone recognizes their legal issue, they can begin to look for legal information and get the legal help they need to resolve the problem.  \nThis guide will help detect legal issues and then connect those issues with targeted sources of legal information, options for legal assistance, and self-help tools.  \nAnswering the following questions will help give a sense of whether someone has a legal problem:  \n• Do they describe a life event?  \nA life event is something big that happens in a person’s life that changes their situation. For example, life events can include getting married, separating from a spouse or partner, having children, losing a job, starting to get income support from the government, or being evicted from a home.  \n• Did they bring legal documents or legal forms?  \nWhen people seek help, do they bring or describe legal documents or letters they received, or forms they filled in or need to fill in?  \n• Do their statements flag a legal problem?  \nWhen people seek help, do they say things that suggest this could be a legal problem?  \nSAI  \nSASKATCHEWAN ACCESS Currency: Updated April 2026  \nTO LEGAL INFORMATION  \nTABLE OF CONTENTS  \nConsumers: Finances, Scams, & Taxes .........................1  \nCrime: Arrest, Police, & Victims of Crime ....................3  \nEmployment: Work, Safety, & Dismissal .......................6  \nFamily: Children, Divorce, & Separation ......................8  \nHealth: Access, Consent, & Rights ...............................12  \nHousing: Renting, Owning, & Disputes........................15  \nOlder Adults: Guardianship, Elder Abuse, & Power of Attorney .....................................................17  \nPlanning for the Future: Estates, Wills, & Death ..........19  \nConsult the companion Quick Reference Guide to Legal Information & Assistance Sources to learn more about the legal information and assistance sources described throughout this document, and Using Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) Tools to Obtain Legal Information.
