More and more, people are losing capacity without doing estate planning, precipitating the need for guardianship and trusteeship for their affairs to be managed. Further, the rise in young adults who require extra help, but not full guardianship and trusteeship, has led to an increase in supported decision-making as the Act allows for more dignity to the adult who may not have full capacity. This program explores foundational topics designed to support practitioners who want to start doing AGTA work or who want to revisit the basics.
