6M Tribunal may declare appointment has effect

(1) A person appointed as an enduring guardian may apply to the Tribunal for an order declaring that the appointment has effect.

(2) If the Tribunal is satisfied that the appointor of the enduring guardian—

(a) is a person in need of a guardian, and

(b) has appointed the applicant as his or her enduring guardian,

the Tribunal may, by order, declare that appointment of the enduring guardian has effect.

(3) The fact that the Tribunal has made an order under this section declaring that the appointment of an enduring guardian has effect does not prevent the Tribunal from making a guardianship order under Part 3, or a financial management order under Part 3A, in respect of the appointor.

(4) The Tribunal may at any time, of its own motion or on the application of a person who, in the opinion of the Tribunal, has a genuine concern for the welfare of the appointor, revoke an order made under this section.
