Understanding Adult Guardianship

Are you concerned about your own incapacity due to aging, an injury, or a confirmed diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer’s? Perhaps you have a loved one who is losing capacity or who is struggling to manage their own affairs due to a cognitive disability or mental health issue.
Guardianship may be the answer, but there are other options.
This workshop will cover the legal aspects of the different types of guardianship and other, less intrusive ways to support a person in their decision-making, including alternatives to guardianship. This workshop is also for individuals who are facing a decline in their own mental acuity and want to learn how they can best protect themselves. This workshop is open to everyone but will focus on Vermont Guardianship.
