Bill overview
This bill amends New Jersey law to allow courts to consider a person’s prior caregiving history when determining who should be appointed as a guardian for an incapacitated individual. Currently, the spouse or domestic partner has priority if available. If not, the court can now consider individuals who previously provided care to the incapacitated person or their estate. This aims to ensure the best interests of the incapacitated person are prioritized in the guardianship process.
