Probate Court: Guardianship and Conservatorship Evaluations

GAFC clinicians can be hired to evaluate persons for guardianship/conservatorship cases. The purposes for the evaluation is to have major decision making duties transferred to a caregiver.

Typically, these cases are for minors who have already been diagnosed with intellectual or developmental disabilities and who are turning 18, adults who have experienced a serious medical issue that has led to cognitive disabilities (for example, a stroke), or adults who are suspected or confirmed to have memory issues and can no longer handle their affairs.
