A personal agent is the person who will enforce your health care preferences should you become incapable of doing so yourself. In some provinces, if you do not select an agent, your Living Will can be given to your health care provider to follow. When you name an agent, you have the option to either give them full authority or limited authority over your health care decisions. Full authority means that your agent may enforce all of your decisions and also make undocumented decisions on your behalf, inform people of your incapacitation, and more.
