The Upstate Elder Abuse Center at Lifespan’s NYS E-MDT Initiative Webinar Series

Please join us to get a refresher on what Article 81 guardianship is (and isn't) with a deeper dive into how judges decide whether someone is "incapacitated." Learn about 1) how guardianship can be a tool to address elder abuse; 2) its limitations; and 3) the legal requirement for its use to be the last resort to address risk of harm. Some elder abuse scenarios in the context of guardianship will also be discussed.
