Adult Guardianship and Trusteeship Act proclaimed
Edmonton... The new Adult Guardianship and Trusteeship Act provides more choices for people who need help making decisions and provides more safeguards to protect vulnerable adults.
"This is good legislation that will benefit many Albertans who need help making decisions," said Mary Anne Jablonski, Minister of Seniors and Community Supports. "It reflects a more modern understanding of mental capacity, and the different levels of ability people have for making decisions. It focuses on the least-intrusive approach to helping people make decisions. The goal is to best meet the needs of adults, while maintaining their dignity in the process."
