Join the campaign for life after stroke - Global Bill of Rights for stroke

By far the worst consequences that can befall a stroke victim who doesn't have an Enduring Power of Attorney in place is that a evil kangaroo court (QCAT in Queensland) can decide the victim is 'incompetent'. Note that its ridiculously easy for said kangaroo court to decide a victim is non compos mentis but a command performance is involved in getting a victim clear of the clutches of the kangaroo court. Typically a determination of non-capacity results in the victims affairs being MIS-managed by cohorts of the kangaroo court the Adult Guardian and the Public Trustee. The best that can be said about the Adult Guardian is that its inept beyond imagination and the Public Trustee fully deserves every possible criticism and condemnation. PT staff are unbelievably arrogant, totally incompetent and will go to great lengths to ensure every red cent in assets is squandered on fees and legal expenses. A common dirty trick is to arrange a shonky ACAT test so the victim can be parked in some disgusting institution where they are surrounded by terminal dementia cases, their home flogged off cheap to a friend of the PT with the proceeds invested in some invariably loss-making scheme. More often than not, by the time the victim realized they are being conned there is nothing left. To date the parasites have made good use of stringent privacy regulations to limit communications between victims however a significant number are now in regular contact and developing strategies to bring members of the troika to account.

I've recently realized what is the motivation to turf victims out of their houses. Seems the Public Trustee bottom-feeders can't charge MIS-management fees in respect of a victim's residence although they can inflict whatever fees they like for other property / investments. Bearing in mind that a significant percentage of PT staff have legal degrees (which is a completely different thing than being a practicing lawyer), the concept of wearing the costs associated with a task that can only cost time and money is anathema to those bloodsucking parasites. Enter the occupational therapists (a weird profession for an ostensibly 'financial' entity) who tell all manner of 'interesting' stories to gain entry to the victims home where they get the info needed to file a shonky ACAT report. Next step is to consign the victim to a cheap and nasty nursing home hundreds of kilometers from their friends so that the home can be flogged off to a friend of the PT, with any proceeds squandered in fees and charges.
