Unless the power of attorney was written to say otherwise, the ''[http://canlii.ca/t/849l Power of Attorney Act]'' says that any power of attorney made by you and your spouse terminates when your marriage or marriage-like relationship ends. | |||
No matter what your relationship status is, if you want to be sure that your power of attorney has been terminated, you need to prepare a written revocation and deliver a copy to all financial institutions where you have an account, as well as a copy to your spouse and anybody else you have appointed as your attorney.
