Guardianship has been in the headlines recently. In this podcast we will explore what guardianship is, why it happens, how a guardian is appointed, and what are the things guardians are meant to do and what are limits are applied to the scope of what they can do.
This podcast is recorded in the ACT so the references are to the local legislation related to guardians. If you live in another state or territory it is good to check on the local legislation and processes that are operating in your area.
The ACT Guardianship Legislation that we refer to in the podcast can be found here:
Guardianship and Management of Property Act 1991 | Acts
