Alberta does not have living wills. Instead, we have personal directives. You may not be able to make decisions if you suffer a serious:
-
injury – like from a car accident
-
illness – like a heart attack or disease
​
A personal directive is a legal document you make in case you can not make your own personal decisions in the future. A personal directive:
-
is optional and voluntary
-
names the person or people you have picked to make personal decisions for you – a person you name on the personal directive is called an agent
-
makes sure your written instructions are known in case something happens to you
-
only comes into effect if you are found to lack capacity – that means you are not able to make your own decisions
​
When you make a personal directive, the person or people you pick to be your agent have legal authority to make personal decisions for you. This could be temporary or long term.
