The Client **** Wiemer is contesting a QCAT interim order dated * September * that appointed his brother, Scott Wiemer, as sole attorney under their mother’s Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA), removing **** without prior notice or consultation. This decision overrides the original * EPA, which designated both brothers as joint attorneys to safeguard their mother’s interests. **** seeks reinstatement as joint attorney, arguing that Scott relocated their mother to Sydney without his knowledge—contrary to her expressed wish, despite mild dementia, to return to Queensland. He also raises concerns about the management of her finances and the potential impact on future inheritance. **** contends that Scott is using unsubstantiated allegations to justify the change in guardianship and plans to challenge the removal at the upcoming QCAT hearing.
