In Nova Scotia, most applications for the appointment of guardians are made under the Incompetent Persons Act. However, Nova Scotia also has a second way of being appointed as the guardian of an adult person who has lost capacity, that being the Inebriate’s Guardianship Act. The procedure is the same. As may seem obvious, the latter act specifically refers to a loss of capacity that is brought around by a person’s habitual drunkenness and is not specifically related to aging. As the focus of this book is on incapacity due to aging, all of the forms and information in this book will refer to the Incompetent Persons Act only.
