## When to use it

Use when a Tasmanian client wants to appoint an enduring guardian for personal and lifestyle decisions (health care, where they live, support received) if they lose decision-making ability.

## Used for these tasks

- [Draft an enduring personal/health decision-making appointment](https://ailawframework.com/practice/elder-law-and-powers-of-attorney-guardianship/draft-an-enduring-personal-health-decision-making-appointment.md)
- [Build the execution and witnessing plan for an enduring instrument before signing](https://ailawframework.com/practice/elder-law-and-powers-of-attorney-guardianship.md#A18-X20260927-1)

## How AI may be used

AI may help prepare the instrument from the client's confirmed instructions and plan execution and registration; the lawyer takes instructions from the client alone and checks capacity, every entry, execution and registration.

**AI may:**

- Transfer confirmed instructions (guardians, alternatives, conditions and limits, wishes) into a checking sheet
- Check the completed instrument against the instructions and list every difference
- Build the registration step with TASCAT through Service Tasmania

**AI must not:**

- Must not take instructions from anyone other than the appointor
- Must not assess capacity
- Must not choose the guardians, conditions or limits

**The lawyer checks:**

- Decisions covered (full authority or limited) and any conditions match the instructions
- Joint guardians understand they must act jointly; any alternative guardian named
- The client's wishes recorded as they want them taken into account
- Instrument registered with TASCAT through Service Tasmania
