Investigative journalists, advocacy organizations, and documentary filmmakers have documented serious concerns about the adult guardianship system.
Loss of Autonomy
Guardianship can strip adults of the right to make decisions about their own healthcare, finances, housing, and personal relationships.
Financial Exploitation Risks
Documented concerns about asset mismanagement, excessive fees, and financial exploitation of vulnerable adults under guardianship.
Family Separation
Families report being denied access to their loved ones after guardianship is established, raising serious civil rights concerns.
Due Process Concerns
Critics argue that guardianship proceedings often lack adequate legal representation and transparency for the person being placed under guardianship.
Lack of Oversight
Inadequate court oversight and monitoring of guardians has been documented by investigative journalists and reform advocates.
Difficult to Terminate
Once established, guardianships can be extremely difficult to end, even when the ward's capacity has improved or circumstances have changed.
