Forgotten faces. The legal status of Australia’s missing persons
Law Society Journal Online, 4 October 2019
The legal challenges faced by families of missing persons in Australia are significant, highlighted by the story of Daniel O’Keeffe and the establishment of MPAN by his sister. The Law Society Journal discusses the difficulties in managing the affairs of missing persons and the lengthy seven-year process to apply for a presumption of death. It also advocates for reforms similar to a UK law that allows for the appointment of a guardian after 90 days.
