Legal Question in Elder Law in New Jersey

I have done several of these, but unfortunately I am all the way up in Bergen County, so you would have to drive up to my office to meet me at least once.

That said, I can tell you that you will need affidavits from two doctors that he can not take care of things for himself, and then you file a guardianship action in the courthouse for the count that your brother lives in. Not all that complicated, but pretty hard to do without help from a lawyer.

Please give me a call. The telephone discussion will be free of charge, and I will let you know what I believe I can do to assist you further. My contact information can be obtained from the links below, just click on the Attorney Profile link. Let my secretary know you found me through LawGuru.

Hello. Guardianships are initiated in the Probate Part of the New Jersey Superior Court in the County in which the "alleged incapacitated person" resides. I have a section on my website (www.hoylelaw.com) that discusses in detail the process for obtaining guardianship over adults with developmental disabilities. Thank you.
