Читать книгу Protect Your Elderly Parents - Lynne Butler - Страница 36

The laws in some parts of Canada specifically say that a person can be appointed by the court as a guardian or trustee of another adult on a temporary basis. In other words, the court order is only intended to be in effect while some specific situation is dealt with, after which the dependent adult resumes control of his or her own affairs.

Generally speaking, a temporary guardianship or trusteeship is not particularly helpful when the person who needs a guardian or trustee is an aging relative. The incapacity that accompanies aging is rarely temporary in nature. If a temporary order were to be obtained, it is quite likely that you would find yourself renewing that temporary order or applying later on to the court for a permanent order. Therefore, this book will not go into detail about the procedures to be followed to apply for a temporary order.
