Personal Directive

A Personal Directive allows you to appoint someone to make healthcare and other personal decisions if you are alive but unable to make these decisions for yourself due to mental incapacity. This document is sometimes referred to as a “living will”.

It is important to have a Personal Directive naming the person you trust to make decisions for you in the event of a severe illness or injury causing you to lose mental capacity. Many people are surprised to learn that being married or in a common law partnership does not give their spouse the automatic right to make these important decisions.
