Supported Decision Making is a newer
concept for some. This session will explore it as a model for building upon a
person’s abilities, support teams, and available community and residential
service systems to address vulnerabilities as an alternative to guardianship and
as an option to explore in terminating guardianships. Minnesota’s Guardianship
statute was recently modified to address the reality that a guardianship may be
an overly restrictive tool with sometimes surprising harms. Also, new
legislation requires parties to try supported decision-making and other less
restrictive alternatives prior to filing guardianship petitions. This
session will explore these issues and the role attorneys play in representing
families as they contemplate seeking guardianship as well as tips for attorneys
representing respondents.
