This book offers the first full examination of the legal role of
public guardianship in 25 years, comparing current conditions to
those when the last study was published in 1981. Public
Guardianship: In the Best Interests of Incapacitated People? is
written to advance public understanding of what happens to disabled
and elderly adults when no family member or friend is available to
be a caregiver or guardian should it become necessary. It is the
first major study on this critically important issue since 1981.
Conducted by experts in gerontology, social work, public policy,
and public health, it finds that, although progress has been made,
guardianship programs around the country still are hampered by
limited staff and resources. Public Guardianship analyzes the full
range of state statutes governing guardianship, including guardian
eligibility, investigation, due process, rights, powers, costs, and
monitoring. The authors report their case studies of public
guardianship programs, marshaling and comparing field data from
their surveys of stakeholders in ten states. The book concludes
with a variety of recommendations for improving guardianship
programs, including the authors' Model Public Guardian Act.
Includes case studies on public guardianship programs in ten
different states Offers bibliographic listings of works cited in
the text Presents tables and charts showing important data
