In BC, adult guardianship (called ‘committeeship’) is currently governed by two acts: the ''Patients Property Act'', [''PPA''] and the ''Adult Guardianship Act'', [''AGA'']. The PPA allows a judge to appoint a committee (pronounced caw-mi-TEE, with emphasis on the end of the word). Part 2.1 of the ''AGA'' contains a statutory process by which the Public Guardian and Trustee (PGT) becomes the ‘Statutory Property Guardian’. All committees, whether an individual or the PGT, are legally authorized to make decisions for the patient. | In BC, adult guardianship (called ‘committeeship’) is currently governed by two acts: the ''Patients Property Act'', [''PPA''] and the ''Adult Guardianship Act'', [''AGA''].
