guardianship08.jpg Title:  North Carolina Guardianship Manual

The Office of Indigent Defense Services offers a free PDF version of this manual for personal use. Link to free, PDF version.

This manual discusses the role and responsibilities of attorneys who are appointed to represent allegedly incapacitated respondents in adult guardianship proceedings. It summarizes and analyzes relevant provisions of North Carolina’s guardianship law (Chapter 35A of the North Carolina General Statutes); discusses the legal consequences of guardianship and the relationship between adult guardianship and other laws regarding mental incapacity; jurisdiction, procedure, and evidentiary issues in adult guardianship proceedings; the legal standards for determining incapacity in adult guardianship proceedings; clinical assessment of cognitive and functional incapacity in adult guardianship proceedings; the appointment of guardians for incapacitated adults; mediation of adult guardianship cases; appeals in adult guardianship proceedings; and modification and termination of adult guardianship. Although this manual focuses on the role and responsibilities of appointed attorneys in adult guardianship proceedings, it is a clear, usable resource for anyone who works in this challenging area of law.
