John Melis, Expert

Hi! You’re speaking with John Melis, a solicitor in Australia.

​You can resolve the issue by applying to the Enduring Guardianship Division of the State Tribunal online.

The tribunal has the power to appoint or remove a guardian.

The guardian protects the person's needs and interests by making personal and health care decisions on their behalf when they have impaired decision-making capacity.

The tribunal website has excellent resources to assist you.

You can get your sister removed from the power and you can take over.
Customer
I posted a question and was told a phone call would be better and to pay $85.00 I just paid $88.00

John Melis, Expert

If you prefer to talk on the telephone, I have sent you a special offer of $8.00 to assist you in more detail, as it will make it easier to discuss your matter. I kindly request that you complete the information on the offer, and we can talk straight away as you need. Otherwise, we can keep chatting in this box.

Customer
I dont want my sister removed I want her to keep me informed and for her to know that we are watching what she is doing she cant be trusted and she has her hands in the financial side of things there so we do not know what else she is up to.

John Melis, Expert

If your sister is not keeping you informed you can get an order from the tribunal to help you, or your local lawyer can talk to her as well.
Customer
Thats going to cost me an arm and a leg what do you do?

John Melis, Expert

You ca run your phone case in the tribunal and it will only cost you your time with the application fee.

You’re handling this matter very well.

If there is anything else, big or small, that I can help you with today, please let me know?

John Melis, Expert

Thank you for your follow-up I wish you a a good time with your grandson. You can reach out to your local lawyer in the morning to help you draft the correspondence.

John Melis, Expert

I hope this message finds you well.

I'm just following up to see how you are going with your situation.

Just recapping your circumstance, you cannot find out your mother's health. That is because your sister has EPA. What you can do in this particular circumstance is challenge that power through the tribunal if you want to have your sister removed under that power. That way you can obtain the power and take control of the matter.

Please let me know how you progress with your matter.

It was my pleasure to help you today, and I thank you for chatting with me. If any part of my response is unclear, please let me know. It’s my goal to deliver excellent service, so please let me know if there is anything more I can do. Thank you for using our site.
