What is an Appointment of Enduring Guardian?
An appointment of enduring guardian is a legal document where a person (the appointor) appoints someone else (the guardian) to make lifestyle and health decisions on their behalf.
A guardian appointed under an enduring guardian document can only make decisions on behalf of the appointor in circumstances where the appointor is unable to make their own decisions (for example, where they lose mental capacity).
Once in force, the document remains in effect until the appointor revokes it, or until they pass away.
