Article On Restoration Of Rights For Adults Under Guardianship

Jenica Cassidy (J.D., Wake Forest University School of Law, May 2014) recently published an article entitled, Restoration of Rights for Adults Under Guardianship, 23 Elder L.J. 83-122 (2015). Provided below is an abstract of the article:

This study provides an initial examination of the current nature and practice of restoration, but many questions remain. For example, how many petitions are filed and how many result in full or partial restoration? And, to what extent are individuals under guardianship and their families and friends actually aware of the right to restoration and the process in which to pursue it? The preliminary findings uncovered in this study serve as a foundation upon which to continue the pursuit to better understand the practice of restoration in the United States.
