When does my Continuing Power of Attorney end?

A Continuing Power of Attorney ends when you die. It also ends when your attorney dies, resigns, or is no longer capable of making decisions about your property for you. This is true unless you have more than one attorney or a substitute.

As well, it ends when:

  • a court appoints a Guardian of the Person for you,
  • you make a new one while you’re mentally capable, unless the new one says something else, or
  • you cancel or revoke it while you’re mentally capable.
