Guardianship Transition Plan

A Guardianship Transition Plan is a legal document that outlines the strategies and procedures for transitioning an individual from guardianship to a less restrictive alternative, such as supported decision-making or a power of attorney. The plan is typically developed by the guardian, the individual under guardianship, and other interested parties, and must be approved by the court. It specifies the steps and timeline for the transition, as well as any necessary supports or services to facilitate the transition. The plan may also include provisions for monitoring and evaluating the individual’s progress and adjusting the plan as needed. The Guardianship Transition Plan is an important tool for promoting the individual’s autonomy and self-determination, while also ensuring that their needs and interests are protected. It helps to ensure that guardianships are not maintained longer than necessary and that individuals are able to transition to less restrictive alternatives when appropriate.
