Cerebral Palsy of North Jersey is sponsoring a guardianship seminar for families featuring attorney Raymond J. Falcon, Jr., Esq. Falcon is a principal of Falcon & Singer P.C., a law firm with offices in offices Montvale, New Jersey and Scarsdale, New York.
The seminar is titled “What Happens When Your Child With A Disability Turns 18?”
By law, any child – regardless of whether the child has a disability or how severe the disability – becomes emancipated upon turning 18. That means parents can no longer make decisions legally for their child – the parent cannot obtain medical information, sign medical consent forms or the paperwork related to an IEP plan or do a number of things that the parents were able to do for their child before the child turned 18.
The seminar will help families learn what they need to do to ensure they can continue to help their child access critical services, and will answer the following questions:
[list type=”icon-circle”]
- How can I be appointed my child’s guardian?
- Do I have to wait until my child turns 18?
- Should I pursue general or limited guardianship?
- Can I appoint a successor guardian if something should happen to me?
