Capacity concerns

A woman sought our help after her husband, who recently had an aneurysm, underwent a capacity assessment to determine his ability to make decisions about his property and personal care.

A woman sought our help after her husband, who recently had an aneurysm, underwent a capacity assessment to determine his ability to make decisions about his property and personal care. We learned that she had made an application for guardianship of her husband, but her lawyer had not submitted all the required documentation to the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee (OPGT). After we made inquiries with the OPGT, a manager offered to speak with the woman to answer her questions.
