Guardianship
Supported Decision Making
Adult Guardianships are handled in the Probate Court and are filed in Room JC-103 at the reception desk at 521 Riverview Avenue.A person (over the age of 17) who is unable to make decisions regarding matters related to everyday living as a result of developmental disabilities, mental illness, brain injury, or infirmities of aging like dementia may need another person to assist him or her. A guardian is a person appointed by a court to provide this type of assistance to an individual (called the ward) or make decisions on behalf of the individual. A guardian of the person would make decisions for the individual related to personal matters such as medical care, housing arrangements, and daily activities. A guardian of the estate would make decisions for the individual related to financial matters. A guardianship is created by a court, and the guardian only has those powers that state law and the court specifically provide.
