Queensland Consolidated Acts Queensland Consolidated Acts(1) A protection order may from time to time, on the application of the public trustee or of the protected person, be varied or rescinded, wholly or in part, as the court thinks fit, either during the lifetime of the protected person or at such time after the death of the protected person as the court determines.
(2) Until it has been rescinded or, in the case of the death of the protected person, a grant of administration has been made, a protection order shall, subject to any variation pursuant to subsection (1), remain of full force and effect and the public trustee shall, notwithstanding the death of the protected person, have and be capable of exercising, subject to any such variation, all of the powers conferred upon the public trustee in and by the protection order, or by this Act, or by any order of the court.
(3) However, at any time after the death of a protected person the public trustee may sign and seal and file in the court in the proceedings in which the protection order was made or, if, under section 67 proceedings have been commenced, in those proceedings, a notice of cessation of management, in the form approved by the public trustee, and thereupon the powers and duties of the public trustee pursuant to the protection order shall cease.
(4) Despite subsections (1) and (2), a protection order for a person ends when the person attains 18 years.
