Thanks for your replies. There are two committee appointed by the court at present however at the beginning it was just one. I have brought up many issues regarding the ward with the court to no avail. However, none of the issues were directed towards financial mismanagement regarding finances abused, as I could not be sure that was going on but I have real fears that this was or could still be taking place.
I understand that the court controls all the finances and any property that the wards owns, but I am not sure how the committee can access the ward finances as when they want to purchase necessary things that the ward may need....do the committee have to provide proof of purchases for the ward and a statement of expenses prior to the purchase or after the purchase has been made. How can the court know if the purchase has been made for the ward is there anyone from the court to check it out.
Before the person was made ward the off springs just took everything in the wards home when it was vacant, this was done with impunity.
Since the person concerned was made ward, and a members of the family are the committee I have real fears that the wards finances was and maybe still being abused by them.
I have written to the court and the solicitors acting in the wardship regarding other issues re chemical cosh being used on the ward to no avail. Therefore I do not think the court would have regard to how the wards money is spent or am I been too cynical!!
Financial abuse is common within family and I am sure it goes on in Ireland as well.
