ccase — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 19:46:00 +0000

In April 2010, Nebraska Supreme Court Chief Justice Michael Heavican formed a 14-member Joint Review Committee on the Status of Adult Guardianships and Conservatorships in the Nebraska Court System comprised of judges, attorneys, legislators, court personnel, law enforcement and accountants responsible for examining Nebraska’s guardian and conservator system. This report serves as a beginning rather than an end of continuing efforts to evaluate the unique and complex issues inherent in taking responsibility of caring for vulnerable adults. The recommendations described herein represent considerations for the Judiciary, the Legislature and the practicing Bar.
