When Guardians Become Beneficiaries: A Mallorca Case and the Gaps in Protection for People with Dementia

Answer

What are the warning signs that a guardian may be misusing someone’s money or assets?

Warning signs can include unexplained withdrawals, missing vehicles or valuables, sudden changes to bank access, or decisions that relatives were not told about. In cases involving dementia or reduced capacity, unusual transfers of money or property should always be treated seriously. If something looks wrong, relatives or advisers should ask for documentation and request a formal review.
