Requires court to consider certain factors in appointing guardian and to justify guardianship appointment on record.

This bill requires New Jersey courts to consider specific factors when appointing guardians for adults who may be unable to make decisions for themselves. Courts must evaluate the individual's health and safety, the potential guardian's ability to care for them, any existing relationship, medical evidence of incapacity, reports from court-appointed counsel, and estate management needs. The court must base any guardianship decision on "clear and convincing evidence" and document the specific factors and evidence justifying the appointment. It applies to all types of adult guardianship (person, estate, or both) and directly affects vulnerable adults, courts, and potential guardians.
