Guardianship Resources
Guardianship is one option for families seeking continued legal authority to make certain decisions on behalf of their adult child with I/DD, but understanding the process and requirements is an important first step.
The resources below can help families explore their options, access legal guidance, and find financial assistance to make the process more manageable.
The Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund
The Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund provides financial assistance and support to families caring for children with serious illnesses, disabilities, or medical complexities.
Serving families in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, the Dolan Fund helps ease the financial burden of caring for a child by providing assistance with essential household expenses, including rent, mortgage, utilities, and select legal fees related to guardianship.
Help with Guardianship Paperwork
Delaware attorney, Francis D. Nardo, has donated 20 hours of pro bono (free) time to help four of our families with the forms to file for guardianship.
Please note: There will still be costs to file the paperwork with the court and for the attorney ad litem who will represent your loved one during this process.
