A 8561 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the timeframe for guardianship hearings

Bill A 8561 proposes to increase the maximum timeframe for certain guardianship hearings. Currently, courts must set the date for an order to show cause hearing no more than 28 days after the order is signed. This bill would extend that maximum period to 35 days. The court would still retain the ability to set an earlier hearing date or adjourn a hearing if good cause is shown. This change directly affects individuals involved in guardianship proceedings by allowing more time before a hearing is scheduled.
