Guardianship Workshop

Does Your Child Need Guardianship?

Sunday, February 24, 2013

1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

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. Sponsored by the Council for Jews with Special Needs and Jewish Legal Aid, a Start Me Up! project.
