Subject Overview
New York State Article 81 Guardianship
As a former senior attorney with the New York State Mental Hygiene Legal Service, I have handled multiple guardianship cases in my capacity as Court appointed Counsel or as Court Evaluator…
Powers to appoint a Guardian
§ 81.02 Power to appoint a guardian of the person and/or property;
Standard for appointment.
(a) The court may appoint a guardian for a person if the court determines:
1. That the appointment is necessary to provide for the personal needs of that person, including food, clothing, shelter, health care, or safety and/or to manage the property and financial affairs of that person; and
2. That the person agrees to the appointment, or that the person is incapacitated as defined in subdivision (b) of this section. In deciding whether the appointment is necessary, the court shall consider the report of the court evaluator, as required in paragraph five of subdivision (c) of section 81.09 of this article, and the sufficiency and reliability of available resources, as defined in subdivision (e) of section 81.03 of this article, to provide for personal needs or property management without the appointment of a guardian. Any guardian appointed under this article shall be granted only those powers which are necessary to provide for personal needs and/or property management of the incapacitated person in such a manner as appropriate to the individual and which shall constitute the least restrictive form of intervention, as defined in subdivision (d) of section 81.03 of this article.
