Power of Attorney and Public Guardianship - Kingston

In Ontario, a Power of Attorney is a legal document which allows a person to appoint someone to make decisions about their property, finances, or personal health care if they become mentally incapable. If a mentally incapable person has no one suitable or willing to act on their behalf, the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee may step in to make these critical decisions.
