Depending on the province, there are different laws regulating Advance Directives.
  • The age for making advance directives has not been defined uniformly in all the states: 16 years old in Ontario or Manitoba, 18 in Alberta, 19 in Northwest Territories or "every competent person" in Newfoundland and Labrador.
  • Also changes the age range that the proxy or witnesses must have.
  • The number of required witnesses varies by state.
  • Some states have legal forms for AD but they are not required.
  • Generally AD must be writed, signed and witnessed. British Columbia allows verbal AD.
