Editor's note: Information from a news release from The Arc Greater Twin Cities.
Dakota County families of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) can learn the basics of guardianship and conservatorship for their loved one at a free guardianship workshop from The Arc Greater Twin Cities. It will be from 6-8 p.m. Monday, April 23, at MRCI, 15191 Boulder Court, Rosemount.
People with I/DD become legal adults with full rights and responsibilities when they turn 18, but some need help making responsible decisions. Guardianship and conservatorship are options for those who need assistance. This workshop will answer many questions about guardianship and conservatorship. An attorney who practices in that field will provide information about legal processes and procedures for obtaining, ending or changing a guardianship order.
