National Guardianship Association

Here is a link to the National Guardianship Association.

The NGA website discusses guardianship in general and has the following links for additional information:

> Guardianship/Conservationship -- An Overview

> Rights of An Individual Under Guardianship

> The Guardian and Informed Consent

> The Guardian as Surrogate Decision-Maker

> Developmentally disabled Individuals

> Assisting the Guardian in Selecting a Nursing Facility

Terminology
When NGA was developing a set of principles and standards to be used on a national scope, we realized it was necessary to review and consider the tremendous variety of terms that were currently in use throughout the country. Our concerns with these differences and possible misinterpretation of principles and concepts led to the development of this set of terms and definitions.

I would like to suggest you also acquaint yourself with the National Association to STOP Guardian Abuse, NASGA.

Thanks for your message Elaine.

It seems to be, for me, beyond the scope of what I had in mind for the group, but someone may find it a benefit.

From the stories I saw in the link, it is interesting that so much trouble can arise when family members and/or relatives get involved and compete for “treasure” when an elder “loved one” is still alive.

When I visited the site of NASGA, I didn’t see any financial statements for the association, and noticed that contributions made to it are not tax deductible.

Welcome to Eons. I see that you are a new member and this is the first group you have joined. I hope you enjoy your participation.
