Revises procedures for temporary guardianship.
S 2622 revises New Jersey's procedures for appointing temporary guardians for people who may be incapacitated but before a full guardianship hearing. The bill requires courts to find an "imminent risk of harm" before appointing a temporary guardian and mandates specific notice to family members, attorneys-in-fact, and healthcare representatives. Temporary guardians must maintain the person's assets in their current state, get court approval for asset sales, and provide itemized accounting for expenses made from the person's estate. The bill limits temporary guardianship to 45 days unless extended, and requires temporary guardians to undergo background checks and training if the appointment is extended.
