Description
In Alberta, anyone under the age of 18 is considered a minor. Parents or guardians can make personal decisions for minors regarding things like education, medical care and social activities. However, they do not automatically have the power to receive and manage money or property for a minor. The Public Trustee is appointed by the Alberta Government under the Public Trustee Act to protect and manage the financial interests of vulnerable Albertans. The trust administrators, lawyers, taxation officers, auditors and support staff in the Office of the Public Trustee act on behalf of people with mental disabilities, administer the estates of deceased persons and protect the property interests of minors.
