Abstract
Control over personal property is something most citizens take for granted. Yet historically, such control was automatically and indefinitely denied to people involuntarily detained in mental institutions. Adult guardianship reforms in the 1980s established multi-disciplinary guardianship tribunals to replace resort to the inherent protective jurisdiction of superior courts. The new guardianship legislation introduced presumptions favouring orders involving minimal restrictions on Iiberty.
