Thousands of documents securely registered and validated by professionals, digital drafting solutions, storage providers and organizations who work with substitute decision makers.

When documents are drafted and stored in disconnected places, nobody knows what’s current.

Today, a person can create a Power of Attorney through many different sources, such as a lawyer, a provincial template, or an online tool, and store copies in many different places. These storage locations may include a home file, an advisor’s office, a physical vault, or digital cloud storage.
‍
None of these locations are aware of one another.

‍When a document is replaced or revoked, there is rarely a shared record to confirm which version is valid—or whether authority still exists.

Each system operates independently, with no awareness of changes made elsewhere.

A shared record for what is current, before decisions are made.

The POA Registry exists to close the information gap between individuals, the people they appoint, and the organizations that rely on these documents.

It does not replace legal drafting, nor does it interpret intent.
‍
It ensures that when a Power of Attorney is used, everyone involved is operating from the same, up‑to‑date record.

The Missing Infrastructure

Register once, reduce silent failure

Power of Attorney documents can be registered to create a traceable reference point beyond personal storage.

Registration allows designated parties to be notified when key events occur, such as revocation or replacement, reducing the risk that outdated authority is used unintentionally.

Automatic notice when authority changes

When authority is revoked or superseded, those previously appointed can be notified, closing the gap between historical documents and new intentions.

This continuity helps prevent misuse, confusion, and transactions made under authority that no longer exists.
‍

Faster, more consistent validation for organizations

For organizations that routinely receive POA documents, the Registry provides tools to review jurisdictional validity requirements and document status efficiently.

This allows teams to process legitimate requests with greater confidence, while consistently identifying documents that present heightened risk.

Did you know?

When documents are drafted and stored in disconnected places, no one knows what’s current.

Today, a person can create a Power of Attorney through their lawyer, provincial templates, or even an online tool, and store them wherever they choose like at home, with their advisors, a physical vault, or any digital cloud storage (none of which are aware of one another).

When changes occur, there is rarely a shared record indicating whether a document has been superseded, revoked, or is no longer valid.

Revoked documents continue to circulate.
‍
Appointed decision‑makers are unaware they’ve been replaced—or that they were never validly appointed in the first place.
‍
Businesses are forced to rely on manual checks, outdated copies, or incomplete assurances.

Not because anyone intended harm, but because there is no shared way to track:
when a POA was superseded,
whether authority has changed,
or whether all relevant parties were properly notified.

This gap creates delay, misuse, and exposure at the exact moment clarity matters most.
