Australia had an issue with one of our public trusts (which can take over financial custodianship when no alternative is available)... They were, in my opinion, unethically billing them which one might interpret as theft...
Mental capacity is a huge issue even before multiple personalities enter the fray. If I had better answers I might try to complain louder.

I feel I can empathize with your last sentence there. At the psych hospital where I work, in the US, I care for many patients who have been involuntarily committed. Although I have deep ethical concerns about many practices in American psychiatry, and the American Mental Health Court system, people only become committed to the hospital's care after they have fallen through every safety net and crack in society, of which there are desperately few to begin with. This is the best we have, at the moment, but I see a large part of my life's work as the fight toward a better, more ethical, more compassionate system.
