What is an enduring power of attorney

An enduring power of attorney is a legal agreement that authorizes a nominated individual (or individuals) to make decisions about your financial affairs if you are unable to do so.

Alberta’s Powers of Attorney Act includes legislation that covers these agreements.

The person(s) you select to act as “attorney” should be highly trustworthy and financially capable.

The agreement must:

  • Be written while you have the capacity to make your own decisions
  • State when the “attorney” has the authority to make decisions
  • Specify if the authorization starts immediately or when you lose capacity (and continue)
