Steps in Estate Planning to Avoid Adult Guardianship

Good estate planning should always include planning for incapacity. In this webinar, we will review several tools, such as advanced directives, i.e., Health Care Proxy and Powers of Attorney, which are essential to avoid the need for loved ones to bring an Article 81 Guardianship petition in Supreme Court if you become incapacitated.

We will explain how, without these vital documents in place, an Article 81 Guardianship Proceeding is the only vehicle available to obtain legal authority to act on an incapacitated adult’s behalf to make financial and/ or health care decisions.
