Darkie, I think you might mean the Guardianship Board? Do not get involved with them under any circumstances if you can avoid them.
If you thought dealing with Centrelink was a pain, you ain't seen nothing till you have tried to deal with the Guardianship Board. My parents had to deal with them over the affairs of one of Dad's aunts. It was a nightmare that I still remember even though I was only a teenager at the time.
The Public Trustee is marginally better if you have absolutely nobody else to administer your Will...at least it will not be you having to deal with them.
I am talking here about NSW but I imagine they are much the same everywhere.
My father's cousin was a top QC in Sydney back in the 60's and 70's and he always told us that the law is an ass...I can not count the number of times since then that I have proved him right, especially in the area of Wills and probate.
