Guardianship
In July 2009, major changes were made to the Law of Massachusetts that applies to Guardianship and Conservatorship when the Massachusetts Uniform Probate Code (MUPC) Article V was adopted. Article V affects guardianships and conservatorships, the authority of guardians and the rights and prerogatives of incapacitated persons and wards. These changes were brought about in part by acknowledgement of modern, clinical understanding of disability. The MUPC seeks to ensure the dignity and human rights of incapacitated persons are preserved by recognizing disability as functional limitations. Practically speaking, this means the MUPC allows for LESS intrusion into the lives of incapacitated persons by the Probate and Family Court. Under the MUPC, incapacitated persons now have more say in regard to some of their finances and living conditions.
