One or more additional presenters will be selected from a call for papers.
Reform of guardianship has been discussed, analyzed and promoted for over 30 years. Why after all this time and effort do we still sense the need for reform? The panel will discuss the improvements to guardianship that resulted from past reform efforts, the practical effect of those reforms and if there is yet more “reform” needed. Is the problem with our expectations of how guardianship should work or have we not yet instituted the proper legal structure or failed to identify and implement best practices? The latest iteration of guardianship reform took place at the Third National Guardianship Summit held in Salt Lake City in October of 2011, The panel will discuss the findings and recommendations of the National Guardianship Summit as well as other possible reforms of guardianship – both modest and fundamental.
