Free Guardianship Handbook Available: The Univ of Maryland Francis King
Carey School of Law and the Maryland State Bar Association have
collaborated on Guardianship and its Alternatives: A Handbook on
Maryland Law. In plain, easy-to-understand language, the 88-page
handbook covers the various scenarios of guardianship. For example, a
child with a lifelong disability about to turn 18, a young adult with
mental health issues, an older person with failing capability. The goal
is to help families and caregivers to provide the necessary support to
their family members to ensure their needs are met but that autonomy and
independence is also secured. Chapters cover a look at guardianship and
its alternatives, determining compentency or capacity, guardianship of
the person and public guardianship, guardianship of the property,
emergency guardianship and where to get help. Handbook:
