Allows complaint for guardianship of minor to be filed six months before minor reaches age 18 under certain circumstances; establishes certain standards for filing guardianship complaints.
This bill (A 962) was withdrawn on January 13, 2026, as it duplicated provisions already enacted in P.L.2025, c.179. The text describes standard adult guardianship procedures, including temporary guardianship appointments for incapacitated adults, bond requirements, and court oversight. It does not address filing guardianship complaints for minors six months before age 18, as the title suggests - this appears to be an error in the bill's description. The actual content focuses on court processes for adults needing guardianship services, not minor-related changes.
