Estate Law in Saskatchewan
Key facts about wills, powers of attorney, and advance directives in SK.
Wills & Succession
In Saskatchewan, wills are governed by the Wills Act, 1996. A will is referred to as a “Will”. Must be 18 years of age or older to create a valid will. Two witnesses required. Holograph (handwritten) wills are recognised.
Powers of Attorney
Saskatchewan uses the term “Enduring Power of Attorney” for financial decision-making and “Health Care Directive” for personal and health care decisions. These are essential documents that protect you if you become incapacitated.
Advance Directives
In Saskatchewan, advance care planning documents are known as a “Health Care Directive”. This document lets you specify your healthcare wishes and appoint a substitute decision-maker. Saskatchewan's Wills Act, 1996 was one of the first in Canada to include provisions for validating informal wills.
