The Guardianship is thought-I generally talk to people while the child is 17 so that we can initiate and have a court date around the 18th birthday. So, just prior to a child reaching age 18, if it’s expected that your child would need a guardian, and this is a decision that you make with your doctors and with your lawyer, and other advisors, sometimes from the school.
So, the New Jersey courts, the laws, and the courts govern Guardianships. Guardianship is appropriate so that the parents can continue making those decisions. When your child reaches age 18, he or she becomes available to make that decision, and in the context of a child with some special needs. So, just as you, as parents, maybe you’re the natural guardian for your child while the child’s a minor and you make decisions for the child about health care, school, and other legal decisions. When your child reaches age 18, that child becomes emancipated or becomes an adult and starts to have certain legal authorities. We’re going to start off talking about Guardianships.
