Information about fees and unit costs
Decisions about guardianship and administration are part of the legal and social fabric of our society. Despite the fact that decisions about guardianship and administration are being made every day, this area of law raises difficult legal and ethical issues. Because a decision is being made on behalf of an adult with impaired decision-making capacity, there are issues as to who should make these decisions and how they should be made. The topics examined in this unit are important from the perspective of government regulation, for those making these decisions for adults with impaired capacity (including relatives and those in statutory positions), and for legal practitioners in fields such as health law and succession.
