New Hampshire to examine guardians for the elderly

New Hampshire is wisely studying how to care for the state’s aging population anticipating that the number of its citizens over age 65 will double by 2030.

Administrative Judge David King has created a “Task Force on Professional Guardians” which will be chaired by Hillsborough County Probate Judge Raymond Cloutier.  The key things which the force will examine will be the qualifications and training of professional guardians and how the courts may be able to assist family members who serve as guardians.
