79 Consult with principal’s other appointees or attorneys
If there are 2 or more persons who are guardian, administrator or attorney for a principal, the persons must consult with one another on a regular basis to ensure the principal’s interests are not prejudiced by a breakdown in communication between them.
Note—
the Guardianship and Administration Act 2000, sections 41 (Disagreement about matter other than health matter), 42 (Disagreement about health matter) and 43 (Acting contrary to general principles or health care principles).
However, failure to comply with subsection (1) does not affect the validity of an exercise of power by a guardian, administrator or attorney.
