Enduring Power of Attorney (BC, Alberta and other provinces)

How it works

What you will fill in

• Does any of these apply to you?
• Which province or territory do you live in?
• Your full legal name
• Your city or town
• Your attorney (name, address and relationship)
• If you name two, how do they act?
• When can it be used?
• BC only: how will you have it witnessed?
• May your attorney be paid for this work?

Good to know

• An enduring power of attorney covers money and property only. For health care, use a Representation Agreement or Advance Directive in BC, or a Personal Directive in Alberta.
• Banks and the Land Title Office may ask for the original or a certified copy. Make several copies after signing.
• Your attorney must keep your money separate from theirs, keep records and act in your best interests. You can cancel this in writing while you are capable.

Help in your language

Every question comes with help like this. For example, “Does any of these apply to you?”:

English: If one does, a lawyer should check it before you sign. You can still make the full document here.

اردو: اگر ان میں سے کوئی بات ہو تو دستخط سے پہلے وکیل سے چیک کروائیں۔

ਪੰਜਾਬੀ: ਜੇ ਇਹਨਾਂ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਕੋਈ ਗੱਲ ਹੈ ਤਾਂ ਦਸਤਖ਼ਤ ਤੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਵਕੀਲ ਤੋਂ ਚੈੱਕ ਕਰਵਾਓ।

हिन्दी: अगर इनमें से कोई बात है तो दस्तख़त से पहले वकील से जाँच करवाएँ।

Français: Si l'une s'applique, faites vérifier le document par un avocat avant de signer. Vous pouvez quand même faire le document complet ici.
