An Enduring Power of Attorney can be used once it is registered with the Land Titles Office and the registration fee is paid.

You or your attorney can arrange for it to be registered when it is needed.

Until then, you stay in full control of your financial decisions. Having this document in place means support is ready if your situation changes, giving you peace of mind.

If you still have decision‑making ability but would like help, you can choose to start using your Enduring Power of Attorney at any time.
