Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers the first full examination of the legal role of public guardianship in 25 years, comparing current conditions to those when the last study was published in 1981. Public Guardianship: In the Best Interests of Incapacitated People? is written to advance public understanding of what happens to disabled and elderly adults when no family member or friend is available to be a caregiver or guardian should it become necessary. It is the first major study on this critically important issue since 1981. Conducted by experts in gerontology, social work, public policy, and public health, it finds that, although progress has been made, guardianship programs around the country still are hampered by limited staff and resources. Public Guardianship analyzes the full range of state statutes governing guardianship, including guardian eligibility, investigation, due process, rights, powers, costs, and monitoring. The authors report their case studies of public guardianship programs, marshaling and comparing field data from their surveys of stakeholders in ten states. The book concludes with a variety of recommendations for improving guardianship programs, including the authors' Model Public Guardian Act.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of the Court of Protection is to protect and to manage the financial affairs of people without the necessary mental capacity to do so themselves. The Public Guardianship Office, an executive agency of the Department for Constitutional Affairs, is the administrative office of the Court of Protection and is responsible for implementing the Court's decisions. The Public Guardianship Office provides protection in two ways: by registering enduring powers of attorney; and overseeing the work of receivers appointed to look after the financial affairs of people once they have lost mental capacity. This NAO report examines the Office's targeting of risk; the steps it is taking to improve service quality; and its activities to raise the public's awareness of its role and the options available to them in the event of losing mental capacity.
