Clarifies power of court to limit restrictions by guardian concerning visitation of ward by family and interested parties; directs 10 day return to court on matters concerning visitation in some instances.
This bill clarifies how New Jersey courts handle visitation requests in guardianship cases involving incapacitated individuals. It requires courts to issue temporary visitation orders within ten days when a family member or interested party applies for access. The law establishes a presumption in favor of allowing visitation, meaning it can only be denied with clear and convincing evidence that it harms the person's best interests. Courts retain the authority to impose conditions like supervised visits when appropriate.
