Guardianship and Alternatives

CUESTIONARIO DE CAPACIDAD EN REFERENCIA A LA TUTELA
CUESTIONARIO DE CAPACIDAD EN REFERENCIA A LA TUTELA (Guardianship Capacity Questionnaire)
Este cuestionario se creó para ayudar a todas las partes en un proceso por incapacidad a reunir información que será útil para el secretario del tribunal para determinar cuáles derechos, poderes y privilegios puede retener el demandado bajo tutela o tutela limitada, si es que puede retener algunos. El formulario también puede ayudar a las partes a determinar si un problema puede resolverse con alternativas a la tutela, como un representante del beneficiario para prestaciones sociales, un poder, o un fideicomiso para necesidades especiales, evitando así la necesidad de audiencia de incapacidad.

Guardianship Capacity Questionnaire
Guardianship Capacity Questionnaire
The questionnaire is designed to help all parties in an incompetency proceeding gather information that will assist the Clerk of Court in determining what if any rights, powers and privileges the respondent can retain under guardianship or limited guardianship. The form may also assist the parties in determining whether alternatives to guardianship such as a representative payee for government benefits, a power of attorney, or a special needs trust might solve a problem thereby avoiding the need for incompetency hearing
