Guardianship or Alternatives to Guardianship
Date: Saturday, March 6, 2021
Time: 11:00 am (by Zoom)
Zoom ID: 927 7254 4403
Description
For parents with children with Special Needs who are turning, or have already turned, 18, the topic of whether to apply for Guardianship or opt for an Alternative to Guardianship is often a difficult decision. Boyd Handley, father of a 26 year old daughter with Special Needs, has been down this road and will explain the difference between full and limited Guardianship, go over the Alternatives to Guardianship and explain how each of these is designed to protect your child. He will also go over the pros and cons of each and explain common misconceptions about Guardianship as well as why it's important to start this process in advance of your child turning 18 (although it can be started after your child has turned 18).
