What is Included in the NWT Estate Planning Package?


1. Enduring Power of Attorney for Northwest Territories


An Enduring Power of Attorney lets you name someone you trust to manage your property and finances on your behalf if you become unable to do so or you choose not to manage them yourself.

This Power of Attorney document can help ensure that someone you trust has the authority to handle important financial and legal matters, including:

  • Managing bank accounts and investments
  • Paying bills and expenses
  • Handling real estate and property matters
  • Managing business and financial transactions
  • Dealing with government agencies and other organizations

An Enduring Power of Attorney is an important part of a NWT estate plan because it allows you to choose who will act on your behalf rather than leaving decisions to be made without your input.

2. NWT Revocation of Power of Attorney Form


This Revocation of Power of Attorney form allows you to formally cancel a previously granted Power of Attorney.

Use this document when you want to terminate an existing appointment and no longer wish the named attorney to have authority to act on your behalf.

3. NWT Springing Power of Attorney

The Springing Power of Attorney is very similar to the Enduring Power of Attorney with one major difference. An Enduring Power of Attorney becomes effective immediately. A Springing Power of Attorney does not come into effect until the occurrence of a future event (such as if you lose mental capacity) or on a date that you specify.

4. NWT Personal Directive

The Northwest Territories Personal Directive allows you to give instructions regarding end-of-life medical treatment and appoint someone as your agent to make health care and personal care decisions for you if you cannot do so.

Your Personal Directive can address important personal matters, including:

  • Medical treatment preferences
  • Health care decisions
  • Living arrangements
  • Personal care choices
  • Information about your values and beliefs

A Personal Directive is a key part of future planning because it ensures that someone you choose can make personal decisions according to your wishes.

5. Legal Will Kit for Canada (Including NWT Requirements)


This comprehensive Canadian Legal Will Kit provides the information, instructions, and forms needed to prepare your own legally structured will.

The Canadian Will Kit package includes:

  • A customizable Last Will and Testament template
  • Step-by-step information and instructions
  • Guidance to help you complete your will correctly
  • Northwest Territories Affidavit of Witness to Will form
  • Comprehensive estate planning questionnaire

Creating a will allows you to:

  • Decide how your property and assets will be distributed
  • Name beneficiaries
  • Appoint an executor to administer your estate
  • Provide instructions regarding your final wishes
  • Help reduce uncertainty and stress for your family


Why do you need a Northwest Territories estate plan?


Many people put off estate planning because they assume it is only necessary for older adults or people with significant assets. In reality, every adult can benefit from having documents that explain their wishes and appoint trusted decision-makers.


Without proper planning, your family may face additional stress, delays, or uncertainty when dealing with your financial affairs, health care decisions, or estate administration.


A complete NWT estate plan can help you:

  • Protect your family and loved ones
  • Maintain control over important decisions
  • Choose who manages your affairs if you cannot
  • Clearly communicate your wishes
  • Make future decisions easier for those close to you
