About

Act 61 of 2023, enacted with unanimous bipartisan support, is Pennsylvania’s first comprehensive guardianship reform bill in three decades. In recognition of the fundamental rights at stake, the cornerstone of the law is mandatory representation by zealous counsel for every adult facing a guardianship petition, careful consideration of all alternatives to guardianship, and enhanced oversight of those appointed as guardian.
