Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act 1988, ss 24–34
If you can’t make decisions about your money or property, there are a few options for having someone else look after them for you.
while you’re still able to make decisions, you can ask a trustee company to look after your money or property. Two doctors need to agree that you need help, and you need to sign a document saying it’s what you want
if the money involved is less than $5000, or income less than $20,000 a year, you, or people close to you, can ask the Family Court to make “personal orders” about what should be done
if the money or property is more than that, you, or people close to you, can ask the Family Court to appoint a “property manager” to make decisions for you.
