Sections of the Adult Guardianship and Planning Statutes Amendment Act, 2007 come into effect September 1, 2010

Portions of the Adult Guardianship and Planning Statutes Amendment Act, 2007 will come into force effective September 1, 2011. The Courthouse Libraries B.C. website sets out the proclamation here as follows:

IN FORCE DATE: Sep 1, 2011


Sections IN FORCE:section 1 (k) as it enacts the definitions of “attorney”, “enduring power of attorney”, “financial affairs” and “power of attorney”; the rest of the Act EXCEPT the following: the remainder of section 1 (k); sections 1 (b) and (c), 4, 5, 15, 18, 31 (b), 33, 67, 73, 82, 94 to 97, 100 to 103, 105 (a), and 110 (b) and (c); section 17 as it repeals section 62 of the Adult Guardianship Act; section 17 as it enacts sections 62, 62.1, 62.2 (2), 62.3 and 63 (2) (a) to (r) and (3) to (6) of the Adult Guardianship Act; section 29 as it enacts section 19.92 of the Health Care (Consent) and Care Facility (Admission) Act; section 31 (a) as it enacts section 34 (2) (n) of the Health Care (Consent) and Care Facility (Admission) Act; section 91 as it amends section 282 (2) of the Land Title Act, and section 99 as it enacts section 9 (1) (b) and (c) of the Partition of Property Act

It's a bit confusing trying to figure out exactly what sections are in force, but it appears that the amendments to the Power of Attorney Act and the Representation Agreement Act are being brought into force. The repeal of the Patients Property Act, and its replacement with new legislation is not being brought into effect.
