Download or read book The Adult Guardianship Experiment written by Terry Carney and published by Federation Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1980s, Australia remade its 'adult guardianship' laws that governed people unable to manage their own affairs or property. The reforms embraced UN principles and took a common pattern with reformist North American and European countries - with one key exception. The rest of the world chose courts to administer the laws; Australia created specialist multi-disciplinary tribunals. This book compares the work of guardianship tribunals and courts and argues forcefully that Australia's adult guardianship experiment in popular justice is a success. Carney and Tait present work on the Australian tribunals in NSW and Victoria and compare them with overseas studies on courts (and the Family Court of Australia). On every measure tribunals outperform courts. They are more inclusive. They pay more attention to social context and functioning, and are better at incorporating the affected person into the hearing, striking an 'alliance' with them. Courts, by contrast, favour alliances with families and the medical profession. Even in areas where courts might be expected to perform better, they are less successful than the tribunals, collecting and testing evidence and avoiding unnecessary intervention.

Download or read book Guardianship written by Winsor C. Schmidt and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately half a million people are under guardianship in the United States. Guardianship is intended as a last resort, but this court of last resort is an institutional fiefdom that has historically received little scrutiny. As the national population ages and the lifespan increases, more people are potentially subject to being adjudicated incompetent in court and having a guardian appointed as a surrogate decisionmaker. This book informs health, social service, and legal professionals, as well as judges and legislators about the findings, analyses, conclusions, and implications from over a decade of national and state research on guardianship and protective services for the elderly and disabled, directed by one of the nation's leading experts on guardianship. The book begins with an overview case study of guardianship and the need for reform from the state that represents America's demographic future, Florida. Exploration of the extent of unmet need for guardian services follows. Findings from a national study of public guardianship and the elderly are detailed. The actual functioning of guardianship court is reported by addressing several questions. What happens to people in the court of last resort? What is known and what is not known about guardianship? What happens beyond the court of last resort in the even more hidden area of involuntary adult protective services? The conclusion consists of a model public guardianship statute and commentary that is a product of the research on guardianship. The statute is designed to provide a framework for much-needed reform of the court of last resort.
