Wife trapped in a retirement home?wa medical poa wa medical power of attorney Western Australia Medical POA wa medical power of attorney Western Australia Medical Power of Attorney WA power of guardianship

Our client’s wife was trapped in a high-end aged care facility. She got Alzheimer’s Disease. Our client wanted to get her out. The retirement home said he had no right to touch or move a person. Not even a wife. He rang me in tears. I told him to go home and get the WA Medical Power of Attorney. He got it. He took it to the Retirement Home and he got his wife out.

Escape a bad hospital with an Enduring Power of Guardianship

Our client’s wife was in a hospital. The doctors were ‘behaving like Gods, not doctors’. Our client presented the WA Medical Power of Attorney. And he moved her to another hospital. There was nothing the doctors could do.

What can an Enduring Power of Guardianship do?wa medical poa wa medical power of attorney Western Australia Medical POA wa medical power of attorney Western Australia Medical Power of Attorney WA power of guardianship

The West Australian Medical POA allows you to appoint loved ones. If you lose mental capacity then they decide your:

  • personal lifestyle
  • where you live
  • medical treatment

But only if you can’t make decisions yourself.

A Western Australian Medical POA is also called:

  • WA Enduring Power of Guardianship
  • WA Power of Guardianship
  • Western Australia Enduring Guardianship
  • WA Medical Enduring POA

What decisions can a West Australian enduring guardian make?

With an Enduring Power of Guardianship a WA enduring guardian makes decisions about:

  1. where you live, whether permanently or temporarily
  2. who you will live with
  3. whether you work
  4. consent to medical & dental treatment
  5. protect life or ‘flick the switch when a vegetable’

How many Guardians and Substitute Guardians can I have in Western Australia?

For a Legal Consolidated Western Australia Power of Guardianship you can have 9 variations of an WA Medical POA:

  1. One Guardian no Sustitute
  2. One Guardian one Substitute
  3. One Guardian two Substitutes
  4. Two Guardians with no Substitute
  5. Two Guardians with one Substitute
  6. Two Guardians with two Substitutes
  7. Three Guardians with no Substitute
  8. Three Guardians with one Substitute
  9. Three Guardians with two Substitutes

Unlike a Western Australian Enduring POA, they must act together. There is no option to allow them to act separately.
