Guardianship Issues with Solo Agers

Solo Agers have unique concerns, especially when considering who they can rely on to take over in a fiduciary capacity if they cannot make decisions for themselves.

Nonprofit organizations can play a critical role in supporting these older adults, serving as legal guardian of both person and property for many older adults who need surrogate decision-makers in times of crises and beyond. 

Join us as Project Guardianship tells us about their resources to support the physical, social, and financial needs of some of our most vulnerable older New Yorkers.
