A 4280 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Revises visitation and reporting rules for professional guardians.

This bill revises visitation requirements for registered professional guardians in New Jersey, mandating they visit their wards at least once every three weeks instead of the current once every three months. It maintains existing reporting obligations, requiring guardians to provide court-ordered updates on the ward's condition and estate. The changes specifically apply to professional guardians (not family or non-professional guardians) appointed to care for adults under guardianship. The goal is to increase oversight frequency and ensure more consistent monitoring of wards' well-being.
