In recent years, an aging generation of baby boomers, increased safeguards in banking, and new protocols in healthcare have trended together and surged the need for adult guardianships- an often misconceived area of elder law. Maryland courts have been rapidly evolving to address this critical need, as the role of attorneys in the guardianship landscape has transformed into a complex combination of advocate, agent, and surrogate. This session aims to review these changes, while navigating the basic process of obtaining and maintaining legal guardianship of a disabled adult.
