GUARDIANSHIP ACT 1987 - SECT 25M

25M Tribunal may commit estate of protected person to management

(1) If the Tribunal makes a financial management order in respect of the estate (or part of the estate) of a person, the Tribunal may, by order:

(a) appoint a suitable person as manager of that estate, or

(b) commit the management of that estate to the NSW Trustee.

(2) Despite section 61 of the Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013 , an order under subsection (1) (a) does not authorise the person appointed as manager to interfere in any way with the estate concerned unless:

(a) such directions of the Supreme Court as are relevant to the management of the estate have been obtained, or

(b) the NSW Trustee has, under Division 2 of Part 4.5 of the NSW Trustee and Guardian Act 2009 , authorised the person to exercise functions in respect of the estate.

(3) However, the person appointed as manager may take such action as may be necessary for the protection of the estate (including action specified by the Tribunal) pending the directions of the Court or authorisation by the NSW Trustee.
