Name a guardian of the person in your power of attorney without retyping your details

In a power of attorney for personal care, you can optionally name someone to be guardian of the person if needed — and the statement repeats your name, address, and the guardian's details. This guide is an example of storing them once in hivi.

Official form and source

Start from the official source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:

• Service page: Guardianship — ontario.ca
• Form (Central Forms Repository): Form 6-Optional Statement to Appoint a Guardian of the Person under Subsection 71 (1) — 004-0245

What this form is about

Form 6 is an optional statement in a power of attorney for personal care appointing a guardian of the person under subsection 71(1) of the Substitute Decisions Act. It lets you name who should become guardian if a guardian of the person is ever required.

Before you start: what to gather

• Your full legal name and current address as grantor.
• Your proposed guardian's name and address.
• Your power of attorney for personal care (confirm it is executed).
• Witness information if required with the POA package.
