Legal Forms

Make your Enduring Power of Attorney with this template form for the Province of Alberta.

Why should I make a power of attorney?

The Enduring Power of Attorney ("EPA") allows you to name someone you trust to act as your attorney or agent, to manage your property and financial affairs if you are not able to do so. The attorney's authority would include real estate, bank accounts, investments, corporate shares, taxes, bill payment and collection.

What does "enduring power of attorney" mean?

The powers granted in this document are enduring, which means that they remain in effect until your death or until you revoke them. You can specify if the EPA will take effect immediately or only after a specified future event, such as if you become mentally incapable of making decisions for yourself.

Does this power of attorney include health care decisions?

No. This document DOES NOT give your attorney the authority to make health care or other medical decisions for you. You will need to make a Personal Directive for that purpose.

What is included in this form?

The Alberta Enduring Power of Attorney contains instructions on how the document must be signed and witnessed, as well as general notes on making a power of attorney in Alberta.

The package also includes two forms of Affidavit of Attestation for the witness. One is for witnessing the donor's signature and one is for witnessing someone else signing on behalf of the donor.
