S 2817 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Revises visitation and reporting rules for professional guardians.

This bill revises visitation and reporting requirements for professional guardians in New Jersey. It requires registered professional guardians to visit their adult wards (individuals under legal guardianship) at least once every three weeks - instead of the previous minimum of every three months - to monitor their health, needs, and well-being. Guardians must also submit updated court reports detailing the ward's condition, living arrangements, care services, and decision-making participation, as ordered by the court. These changes directly affect professional guardians and the vulnerable adults they support, aiming to strengthen oversight of their care.
