Part 3: Notification prior to registration
188.Part 3 sets out the steps which should be taken by the attorney before making an application to the Public Guardian to register the power. The attorney must give notice of his intention to register the power to all those entitled to receive notice. These people can include the donor’s spouse or current partner, the donor’s children and the donor’s parents. The attorney is also under a duty to give notice of his intention to register to the donor. The attorney may apply to the court to dispense with this requirement to give notice to entitled persons. Notices should be in the prescribed form and must contain specific information, especially with regard to the right of that person to object to registration.
