| Annotation | A significant proportion of older Australians is likely to have a disability for decision-making by reason of impaired capacity. This paper draws on findings from a secondary analysis of suspected financial abuse cases in the files of the Guardianship and Administration Tribunal in Queensland, Australia. It explores the association between formal and semi-formal asset management arrangements and suspected financial abuse cases. The role of families as a formal asset manager is also considered.
