Who We Are
Court appointed legal guardians make decisions for incapacitated people about personal and medical care, meals, transportation, and even where a person lives. Guardians control assets, manage budgets, pay debts, and make all financial and investment decisions for the people they assist. Government is responsible for monitoring the health and well-being, along with the finances of every incapacitated person under the care of a legal guardian. It is the only way to eliminate opportunities for abuse. We need volunteers ? a host of them ? to supplement limited government resources. Volunteers will gather data and review reports and files to ensure that each guardianship case is handled the way it should be.
What We Do
The New Jersey Judiciary Guardianship Monitoring Program (GMP) is a comprehensive statewide volunteer-based court program established to monitor guardians in their handling of the affairs of incapacitated individuals. The goal of the GMP is to safeguard and reduce the potential for abuse and exploitation of incapacitated individuals by their guardians.
