Guardianship Workshop
Learn about guardianship, conservatorship and powers of attorney in plain English—when to think about these issues, why the topics might be important and how to proceed. When a person turns 18, they are legal adults regardless of his/her actual ability to make decisions regarding health care, housing and education. Parents of children with special needs often need to file for guardianship in order to ensure on-going communication with doctors, educators and others. This program will focus on the process of applying for and obtaining guardianship, when it is needed, how it differs from a conservatorship or when a Power of Attorney might be sufficient.
This two hour workshop with forms and instructions will include a Q & A opportunity. Attorneys will be available to provide one-on-one practical information and insight into the process.
This program is sponsored by the Council for Jews with Special Needs and Jewish Legal Aid, a Start Me Up! project.
Pre-registration is recommended. Participants who pre-register are guaranteed to receive a 42 page Legal Options Manual; a limited number of additional copies may be available to walk-in participants. Pre-register at info@cjsn.org or 480-629-5343.
