One of my 3 specialities is GUARDIANSHIP.

I often encounter clients who are seeking guardianship for loved ones suffering from dementia.

Dementia refers to a decline in cognitive function, which includes memory, language, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities. It can be caused by various conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease, stroke, or brain injury.

In the context of guardianship applications, the State Administrative Tribunal of Western Australia considers whether an individual has dementia when determining whether they are capable of making decisions about their own care and welfare.

If the Tribunal determines that an individual lacks capacity due to dementia, a guardian may be appointed to make decisions on their behalf.

Dementia is a progressive condition, meaning it will get worse over time. As such, it's important to plan for the future and ensure that appropriate guardianship arrangements are in place to ensure the best possible care for loved ones suffering from dementia.

If you or someone you know is seeking guardianship for a loved one suffering from dementia, don't hesitate to reach out. I've dealt with 100s of these matters over the years and offer a comprehensive service.
