An Enduring Guardianship is a legal document that lets someone you trust make health and lifestyle decisions if you can’t.
In NSW, you appoint an Enduring Guardian to step in if you lose capacity to make personal choices. They can decide where you live, what services you receive, and what medical treatment you receive.
Probate is the court’s official recognition of a Will as valid and gives the executor authority to manage the estate.
Once granted by the Supreme Court of NSW, probate allows the executor to collect assets, pay debts, and distribute the estate to beneficiaries according to the will.
A Financial Management Order is a court or tribunal ruling that appoints someone to manage another person’s financial and legal affairs when they can’t do so themselves.
NCAT (Guardianship Division) is the tribunal that issues orders, however you can apply for a review to the Supreme Court, or the Mental Health Review Tribunal if dissatisfied with NCAT’s decision. It enables the appointed person, either a private individual or the NSW Trustee and Guardian, to act legally on behalf of the person with impaired financial capacity.
