Читать книгу Protect Your Elderly Parents - Lynne Butler - Страница 14

When Nunavut became Canada’s newest territory in 1999 by splitting off from the Northwest Territories, it retained some of the laws of the Northwest Territories and adopted them as their own. One of the laws of the Northwest Territories that still applies in Nunavut is the Guardianship and Trusteeship Act, which sets out the rules, procedures, and forms for the appointment of guardians and trustees for adults. Therefore, all of the information in this book that applies to the Northwest Territories also applies to Nunavut.

You will note that there are a few changes to the forms that are used for making your application. For example, you must refer to the Nunavut Court of Justice rather than the Northwest Territories court. These changes have already been made on the forms for Nunavut readers.
