Adult Guardianship and Alternatives
When is a guardian appointed?
In fb88, a guardian for an adult may be appointed by a Probate Court for an adult who is unable to receive and evaluate information or make or communicate informed decisions to such an extent that the individual lacks the ability to meet essential requirements for physical health, safety, or self-care.
Before a guardian may be appointed, the court must determine that there are no less restrictive alternatives, such as:
Adult Protective Services & Guardianship
If you have an emergency or life-threatening situation that must be addressed immediately, please call 911.
