Medicaid Planning for Guardianships

Whether you are acting as the attorney in a Guardianship for the Petitioner, the Respondent or as the Guardian ad litem, this course will help you navigate through some of the stumbling blocks you may encounter at the different stages of pleadings, discovery and hearings in adult and minor guardianships.

In this program (geared toward lawyers with little or no experience in guardianship court), you will learn what steps must be taken before the appointment of a guardian, what to expect on your first court appearance, and what to do after the Court enters a guardianship order.

This session will discuss the difference between wrongful death and survival damages and why is it necessary to structure them differently. Strategies to best protect recoveries for estate beneficiaries will also be discussed.
