Understanding the Protection Mandate

The Public Curator is actively working to dispel common misconceptions surrounding the protection mandate, a crucial legal document that outlines your wishes regarding your personal care and property management should you become incapacitated. Often misunderstood, the protection mandate is a powerful tool for ensuring your autonomy and well-being.

Busting the Myth of High Costs: Accessibility for All

One prevalent myth is that creating a protection mandate is an expensive endeavor. However, the Public Curator emphasizes that this is simply not the case. A standard mandate form is readily available for free on their website (PDF format). Furthermore, citizens can now obtain a complimentary paper version upon request, making the process even more accessible.

A mandate can be made for free thanks to the form available on the public curator website.

The Importance of Planning Ahead: Incapacity can Strike at Any Age

Another risky misconception is that protection mandates are only necessary for the elderly or those with pre-existing health conditions. The reality is that incapacity can occur at any age due to unforeseen circumstances such as accidents, illnesses, or mental health challenges. According to recent statistics from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke,traumatic brain injuries alone affect millions annually,highlighting the unpredictable nature of life. A protection mandate provides peace of mind, knowing that your affairs will be handled according to your wishes, regardless of when or how incapacity may arise.

Incapacity can occur at any age. No one is immune to illness, accident or mental health disorder that could make him unfit to take care of himself and manage his property.
