The Arc New York Guardianship Program

Alternatives to Guardianship of the Property

Durable Power of Attorney

This document is effective when signed and allows a person to designate an agent or agents to make personal and financial decisions on their behalf. These documents are comprehensive and grant significant authority over one’s assets, and one’s ability to contract for services or for entry into a residential health care facility. These, unlike Health Care Proxies, should only be executed under the supervision of an attorney licensed to practice in New York State.
