Free Webcast: Alternatives to Guardianship in Common Legal Aid Cases
When: Wednesday, July 27, 2022, at 10:30-11:30 P.T./1:30-2:30 E.T.
Civil legal aid attorneys working with older adults encounter urgent cases
that, at first, may seem to require guardianship, such as obtaining public
benefits or housing for individuals with diminished capacity. In their efforts
to assist individuals with their pressing civil legal problems, it can be
challenging to know what less restrictive alternatives exist and how to assist
clients in accessing them.
Most states require alternatives to be considered before initiating a
guardianship action or may require proof that a guardianship is necessary
before continuing an existing guardianship. Less restrictive alternatives to
guardianship typically include a power of attorney, health care representative
or agent, financial representative or agent, trust, and other decision-making
supports. This
session<https://default.salsalabs.org/T2780ba4d-12a7-4cdd-8ed4-81616bc309f2/0677139a-9439-4e1d-8ac1-c6979340ff8f>
will walk through case studies of common legal aid cases to explore these
alternatives, ways to ensure effective communications supports, and tools for
assessing the client’s mental capacity and their ability to make informed
choices.
Participants will gain:
1. Knowledge to identify 3-5 less restrictive alternatives to guardianship.
2. Valuable “how to” skills and information on how to assist clients in
accessing less restrictive alternatives to guardianship.
3. Increased competency on tools for effective communication with their
client(s).
Presenters:
* Erica Costello, Senior Attorney/Chief Counsel, ABA Commission on Law and

* Elizabeth Moran, Senior Attorney/Chief Counsel, ABA Commission on Law and
Aging
