guardianship reforms

Guardianship reforms aim to improve how courts appoint and oversee guardians to protect individuals who cannot make decisions for themselves due to age, disability, or incapacity. These reforms focus on ensuring guardians prioritize the person's rights, dignity, and preferences, while reducing unnecessary or overly restrictive guardianships. They promote alternatives like supported decision-making and require regular review to prevent abuse or neglect. The goal is to balance protecting vulnerable individuals with respecting their autonomy, fostering more personalized and less invasive guardianship arrangements.
