Guardianship Corp is an approved 501(c)(3) Not for Profit Agency that was formed in September 2018 to fill a large and growing unmet need in our Society.
Due to many factors including; people longer lives, having fewer children, sometimes outliving their children, and/or living distantly from family, and/or who are estranged from relatives, when combined with an aging population with rising rates of Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive impairments, the Courts are faced with a burgeoning problem to find needed guardians for cases that a Judge have decided is incapacitated under Article 81 of the Mental Hugiene Law and requires help or will suffer, or is likely to suffer harm.
The usual route of paying for an attorney to perform these important functions breakdown when there are no funds to pay for the services.

What We've Accomplished
Guardianship Corp started operations in October 2018 training our first class of volunteers, hiring staff and securing office space at Touro Law School as of November 1, 2018. We were appointed to cases starting at the end of November and have been appointed to over 125 to date.

Guardianship Corp started operations in October 2018 training our first class of volunteers, hiring staff and securing office space at Touro Law School as of November 1, 2018. We were appointed to cases starting at the end of November and have been appointed to over 125 to date.
Our innovative volunteer based model was proven to be very effective. Client visitation is significantly enhanced over the minimum 4 visits per year which is mandated. Utilizing volunteers as "eyes and ears" on our clients, Guardianship was able to demonstrate high quality case management for all of our clients.
During COVID visits to nursing homes were stopped thereby preventing any visits by volunteers. As a result volunteer operations ceased with visits performed by staff instead moving forward.
