Middle Ground Alternatives

How do you determine if Temporary/Emergency Guardianship is appropriate?

• Is the incapacitated adult involved in an emergency of life-threatening situation?

• Is the incapacitated person in imminent physical danger?

• Are the assets of the incapacitated person being actively squandered or wasted?

• Is an already appointed guardian not effectively performing his/her duties and putting the incapacitated person in danger? Or draining the incapacitated person’s assets?
