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.
