Alberta Revocation of Power of Attorney

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.

Format and Use of the Template

This Enduring Power of Attorney template is available in MS Word format and can be used by more than one person in your household. Pay once, use as often as needed.

This legal form template is only to be used by persons who are residents of the Province of Alberta, Canada.

What would happen if you suddenly became unable to look after yourself?

Make your wishes known ahead of time with this Personal Directive form for Alberta residents.

A Personal Directive is an important estate planning form. It is an essential part of every Albertan's future planning portfolio.

• • health care,
  • accommodation,
  • friends and acquaintances,
  • participation in social activities,
  • educational activities,
  • employment activities,
  • legal matters, and
  • other non-financial personal matters.

Have you made a Will yet?

Why should I make a will?

If you were to die intestate (without a valid Will), your loved ones will have to pay court costs and legal fees to administer your estate. They already have enough to deal with after your passing - you can spare them the extra expense and trouble by making a will.

If you own real estate or other assets, whether in Canada or outside of the country, you need to have a Will to make sure your property is distributed in accordance with your wishes.
