What is the Adult Guardianship and Trusteeship Act (AGTA)?
The Adult Guardianship and Trusteeship Act (AGTA) legislation replaced the 30 year old Dependent Adults Act (DAA). The AGTA is mainly about providing decision-making options when an adult needs assistance or requires a substitute for personal and financial decisions. The AGTA received Royal Assent in December 2008 and was proclaimed on October 30, 2009.
