The Alberta Law Reform Institute is considering whether to prepare a report and recommendations for the adoption of additional safeguards against abuse of Enduring Powers of Attorney (“EPAs”). In order that its consideration may be properly informed, the Institute solicits the comments and advice of the reader on these two questions:

• Should the law provide additional safeguards against abuse of Enduring Powers of Attorney (“EPAs”)?
• If the law should provide additional safeguards, what should the additional safeguards be?

After considering the comments and adv ice received , the Institute will decide whether to prepare a report and recommendations for changes in the Powers of Attorney Act in relation to the safeguards against abuse of EPAs.
