Dear Subscriber:
Thank you for choosing to keep your copy of Guardianship and Conservatorship Practice in Massachusetts current with this 2023 edition. Inside, you will find new material on such topics as the following:
- Grounds for appointment of guardianships for adults. In chapter 4, find reference to a 2023 Appeals Court decision that upheld a Probate and Family Court's finding of incapacity where the seventy-eight-year-old respondent had a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia and refused to undergo blood testing or otherwise monitor her health for potential side effects of Zyprexa.
- Uniform Adult Guardianship and Protective Proceedings Jurisdiction Act (UAGPPJA). Also in chapter 4, find a practice note explaining electronic signature requirements for pleadings under the UAGPPJA. The note references Probate and Family Court Standing Order 2-23.
- Durable power of attorney. See chapter 2 for a practice note citing a 2022 case on the subject of expanding the powers under a durable power of attorney to encompass making gifts, creating trusts, and accessing digital assets.
- Serving as a GAL. See chapter 11 for an updated list of practical steps. There is also a detailed checklist concerning a GAL's first inquiry of a case.
We at MCLE trust that you will find this new material useful in your practice and valuable in keeping your law library current.
Cordially,
MCLE Press
