Posted 11/04

The New Jersey State Bar Association has summarized proposed amendments to existing law embodied in S-224/A-1240/A-1922  (Singer/Malone/Weinberg).  According to their summary, the bill amends several sections of the New Jersey Revised Statutes pertaining to guardianships in order to promote consideration of limited guardianship in all guardianship proceedings and autonomy for mentally incapacitated individuals, wherever possible.

 

The NJSBA has prepared a Summary which highlights key differences between the existing guardianship law, N.J.S.A. 3B:12-1, et seq., and the proposed amendments to the law.  The proposed amendments reflect revisions to the bill made by the Elder Law Section of the NJSBA through August 2004.
