Appoint someone to manage your financial affairs for you with this Continuing Power of Attorney form for Ontario residents. 

Why should you make a power of attorney?

It's important to have a Power of Attorney (POA) in case you are unable to look after your financial and business affairs for any reason, whether due to illness, accident, or absence. 

You can use this downloadable form to appoint someone you trust as your attorney (sometimes also referred to as your agent or proxy). This document also includes instructions for completing it, information you need to help guide you through the process, and answers to many common questions.

What is a "continuing" power of attorney?

A continuing (or enduring) power of attorney is one that continues to be effective even if you become mentally incapable of managing your finances and property.

What powers will my attorney have?

Under the POA, your attorney will have the power and authority to manage your money, assets and property. You can impose conditions and restrictions on your agent's powers as you see fit.

This Continuing Power of Attorney does NOT grant your agent the authority to make health care or personal care decisions for you.

When does the document come into effect?

You can choose if the power of attorney will come into effect only if and when you become mentally incapable or if you wish to have it become effective immediately.
