What to Do When a Loved One Dies Without a Will – Legal Guidance from Bennett Carroll Solicitors

What happens if my elderly parent has dementia and no power of attorney in Queensland? If a person loses capacity without an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA) or Advance Health Directive (AHD), their children must apply to the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT). This process appoints a Guardian for health and an Administrator for finances, leading to significant delays, costs, and potential family conflict over control. Learn the steps involved and why legal advice is essential to avoid QCAT intervention. Bennett Carroll Solicitors have estate lawyers located in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Ipwsich.
