01

What this resource covers

Start with Canada's official explanation of advance care planning, then follow the current Nunavut government or health-authority process for the document you need.

This document or guide is specific to Nunavut. Do not substitute a similarly named form from another state, province, or territory.

02

Before you sign

Health Canada confirms that terminology and legal requirements differ across Canada. Verify the current Nunavut form, witnesses, and any notarization or registration rules locally.

If capacity is disputed, the appointment is complex, or property crosses jurisdictions, get advice from a qualified lawyer or notary where appropriate.

03

After it is properly completed

Tell your decision-maker where the signed document is stored and share copies with the appropriate professionals or institutions.

You can then record its location and the responsible contacts in BeforeHand. Uploading a file does not make it legally valid or replace delivery, registration, witnessing, or notarization required elsewhere.
