Orders under the 3PR Act

As well as allowing people to make their own arrangements for the future by arranging an enduring power of attorney (for information see “Enduring power of attorney” in this chapter), the Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act 1988 allows for the Family Court to make various orders for people in relation to whom it has jurisdiction.

The court may make “personal orders”, which relate to the personal care and welfare of the person in question. This includes appointing a welfare guardian or making various lesser orders (for information see “Personal orders” in this chapter). It may also make “property orders”, which involve appointing a property manager for the person’s property or part of it (for information see “Property orders” in this chapter).
