Guide for Guardians 2008
Guardianship is a very complex process with many responsibilities of great consequence. Since an individual’s basic civil rights are at stake, guardianship should only be pursued as a last resort. If guardianship is ultimately the only acceptable decision, those taking on these duties need assistance and direction with the responsibilities of being a guardian. This manual was developed to provide that assistance and direction about guardianship and its alternatives.SWPPA Member - $35.00 (Non-members - $40.00)
