Alberta > Making a Personal Directive > When does it get reviewed?

If, after I review my Personal Directive, I decide to make a new one, does it automatically cancel the old one?

Not necessarily. More that one Personal Directive can be in effect at the same time. Naturally, if more than one Personal Directive provides the same powers to different people, this can cause great confusion.

To be certain that you have only one Personal Directive in effect, ensure that each new Personal Directive includes a phrase indicating that you revoke all Personal Directives previously made.
