Guardianship In New Jersey
The appointment of a legal guardian in New Jersey is something that’s not taken lightly by the court. The legal guardian will be limited to those decisions that will meet the level of need by the incapacitated person. Some of these decisions may include, but not be limited to
· Choice of where the loved one resides;
· Acceptance or denial of medical care;
· Control of food, clothing and shelter;
· Control of financial and contractual affairs;
· Estate and asset preservation planning;
· Restriction of loved one’s civil rights and personal freedom. |

Conservatorship or Legal Guardianship in NJ: Which is the Right Choice?
In New Jersey, a conservatorship is generally more limited than a legal guardianship and is voluntary. Like a legal guardianship, a conservatorship is a court-ordered relationship between a caregiver and a person who’s unable to make sound decisions due to old age or mental or physical disability. Unlike a legal guardianship, however, a conservatorship concerns only the conservatee’s financial matters when they need assistance. If found necessary, a conservator will be appointed with only those powers necessary to make the following financial decisions:
· Power and duty to make reasonable payments for the support, maintenance, and education of the conservatee;
· Power and duty to pay all lawful debts owed by the conservatee;
· Power and duty to possess and manage the conservatee’s assets;
· Power and duty to collect all debts owed to the conservatee;
· Power to engage in tax, estate, and asset preservation planning;
Both legal guardianships and conservatorships require considerable time and effort on the part of the legal guardian or conservator. While establishment of these relationships is the main obstacle in caring for your loved one, other procedural requirements exist after you’ve been appointed legal guardian or conservator.
The skilled New Jersey elder law attorneys with Fredrick P. Niemann, Esq. at Hanlon Niemann can help you not only present the best evidence for the need of a guardian or conservator, but can help you continue to maintain compliance with the court’s directives as the conservation / guardianship relationship develops.

A guardian is someone appointed by the court to make decisions on behalf of another person who cannot make decisions independently.
We understand the emotional stress surrounding a guardianship proceeding. Few issues will confront a non-disabled spouse, parent or child more than that of guardianship.
In New Jersey, you are considered legally capable of decision making at age eighteen. In the eyes of the law, even those with a significant developmental disability or a serious mental illness may legally be permitted to make decisions on their own behalf at the age of 18. A person, however, with a confirmed disability or a mental illness is not capable of making his or her own decision; it is necessary to secure the judicial appointment of a guardian.
