The page gives no form number. From 2014 this plan replaced enduring powers of attorney, and no new enduring power of attorney can be created. Documents made before 2014 can still be used. ## Key facts - Kind: Form. A form to complete, or a guide to completing an official one. - Practice area: [Elder Law & Powers of Attorney / Guardianship](https://ailawframework.com/precedents/elder-law-and-powers-of-attorney-guardianship.md) - Jurisdictions: Northern Territory - AI level: Yellow. You and the tool draft together, with you directing. You check every statement you rely on. - Law stated as at: 2026-10-22 - Status: Maintained. Checked on 2026-10-22 against the official form at pgt.nt.gov.au and the 2 authorities it cites, for Northern Territory. ## When to use it Use when an adult is making a new Northern Territory Advance Personal Plan, including an advance care statement, advance consent decisions, or appointment of a decision maker. Do not create a new Northern Territory enduring power of attorney. The tool does not write the plan, the wishes or the witness confirmation. ## Used for these tasks - [Draft an enduring power of attorney (financial) from the instructions](https://ailawframework.com/practice/elder-law-and-powers-of-attorney-guardianship/draft-an-enduring-power-of-attorney-from-the-instructions.md) - [Draft an enduring personal/health decision-making appointment](https://ailawframework.com/practice/elder-law-and-powers-of-attorney-guardianship/draft-an-enduring-personal-health-decision-making-appointment.md) - [Draft an advance care directive from the instructions](https://ailawframework.com/practice/elder-law-and-powers-of-attorney-guardianship/draft-an-advance-care-directive-from-the-instructions.md) - [Build the execution and witnessing plan for an enduring instrument before signing](https://ailawframework.com/practice/elder-law-and-powers-of-attorney-guardianship/build-the-execution-and-witnessing-plan-for-an-enduring-instrument-befor.md) - [Review existing enduring powers, guardianship orders and advance care directives](https://ailawframework.com/practice/elder-law-and-powers-of-attorney-guardianship/review-existing-enduring-powers-guardianship-orders-and-advance-care-dir.md) - [Build a decision-making map: who holds which power, from when, and over what](https://ailawframework.com/practice/elder-law-and-powers-of-attorney-guardianship/build-a-decision-making-map-who-holds-which-power-from-when-and-over-wha.md) ## How AI may be used AI may check the pack against the current form and list missing documents. The lawyer writes the instrument, the powers, the wishes and any witnessing or capacity words, and checks every signing. **AI may:** - Check the pack against the current official form and list missing parts named on the page - Flag when an enduring power, a health direction, a statement of choices or an advance personal plan is being used for the wrong purpose - List the witness categories and the registration path stated on the page that was opened **AI must not:** - Must not draft the instrument, the powers, the person's wishes, a treatment refusal, or witnessing or capacity words - Must not copy an example statement from a public page into the person's document - Must not sign or lodge the instrument **The lawyer checks:** - The current form is the one linked from the Public Guardian and Trustee page. No form number was stated there - A new Northern Territory enduring power of attorney is not prepared. Pre-2014 documents are reviewed rather than reissued as a new enduring power - The witness is in a category the page lists, and the witness confirmation is the witness's own - The court's or tribunal's current index is checked before assuming a generative-AI practice direction applies. None was stated on the page opened for this guide. ## Authorities - [Public Guardian and Trustee, Making an Advance Personal Plan](https://pgt.nt.gov.au/advance-personal-plans/making-an-advance-personal-plan) - [Advance Personal Plan form PDF linked from that page](https://nt.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0006/169071/advance-personal-plan.pdf) ## Official form [Official form](https://pgt.nt.gov.au/advance-personal-plans/making-an-advance-personal-plan) ## Where this comes from The official form is published by pgt.nt.gov.au; this page is a completion guide.
