What happens BEFORE statutory guardianship
Lisa Feldstein 
A step by step look at the process that occurs within psychiatric facilities with respect to findings of incapacity to manage property
When someone is admitted to a psychiatric unit in Ontario, one of the first questions the care team must answer is whether the person can manage their own property (finances). The rules come from Ontario’s Mental Health Act (MHA), and the process can feel opaque for families who are already under stress.
To make it clearer, we created a simple, step‑by‑step infographic that walks you through what happens from admission to discharge and beyond. It’s designed for families, clinicians, and discharge planners who want a quick, accurate overview of the path and the paperwork.
Our goal with Kinkeeper™ is to translate complex legal‑medical processes into plain language so families can understand the road ahead, ask better questions, and advocate confidently.
