Yes. There are and it is essential that these legal requirements be observed. Failure to follow them can result in a Power of Attorney being rendered null and void and of no legal effect. This can result in serious and, in some cases, catastrophic consequences. If you are contemplating giving a Power of Attorney in Ontario you should obtain proper legal advice from a knowledgeable, experienced lawyer who practices in this particular area of the law.
