For Adult Children with Disabilities . . . In New York, when a child with different abilities turns age 18, parents lose the right to make decisions on their child's behalf even if the child is moderately or severely disabled. For parents to continue to make critical decisions and access important records, they must seek an order of guardianship from a court. With this order, the parent can continue to make decisions regarding medical treatment, living arrangements, supports, services, government benefits, employment, education, travel, and other personal arrangements. The parent can also designate other individuals to serve as guardian in the future so your child is always protected by someone you know and trust. |
 For Frail or Vulnerable Adults . . . Children with disabilities and special needs are not the only ones who need protection through guardianship. We also assist families who are seeking guardianship of elderly parents or relatives who are suffering from mental illness or debilitating conditions such as Alzheimer's. An Article 81 guardianship gives a family member or caregiver the legal right to make arrangements for increased care and supervision, to assist with finances, and to make necessary medical decisions on behalf of elderly or vulnerable adults. |
