Many seniors and adults with a disability or illness come under the care of a guardian, who manages their assets. How can you be certain a guardian is acting in the best interest of your loved one when making decisions about finances and care? Approximately 10 percent of people over 65 are subject to elder abuse, and persons with disabilities are at a higher risk of abuse and neglect than the general population.
Here to discuss adult guardianship and protections for your family members are National Master Guardian Emeritus and retired Director of the 's Volunteer Guardian Program Julia Nack; Executive Director Michael Kirkman; the Assistant Director Jessica Wayne; and Managing Attorney Miriam Sheline.
