Revises visitation and reporting rules for professional guardians.
This bill (A4496) revises visitation and reporting requirements for professional guardians in New Jersey. It requires registered professional guardians (who are paid for their services) to personally visit their wards at least once every three weeks - instead of the current requirement of once every three months - to monitor the ward's physical and mental health, needs, and capabilities. It also updates reporting rules, mandating guardians to provide detailed reports to the court about the ward’s condition and estate, and allows family members to request such reports via court motion. These changes directly affect paid professional guardians, incapacitated individuals under their care, and family members seeking oversight.
