Adult guardianship in New Jersey: how it works and the alternatives
In New Jersey, a guardian for an adult is appointed by the Superior Court, Chancery Division, Probate Part, after a verified complaint is filed with the Surrogate in the county where the person lives. The complaint is generally supported by affidavits from two physicians (or a physician and a licensed psychologist) who examined the person within 30 days, and the court appoints an attorney for the person. Courts can order a limited guardianship, and a power of attorney or health care proxy may avoid court altogether.
