Hear about practical issues attorneys and individuals face when using the new Supported Decision-Making Agreement as an alternative to guardianship. Learn about the types of clients who have not only signed but used a Supported Decision-Making Agreement (“SDMA”), and in what situations SDMA’s worked or did not work. Explore ideas about using the SDMA to deal with third parties, and what releases may enhance third parties’ cooperation. Review ethical issues, such as identifying the client, determining client capacity, and whether the supporter owes a fiduciary duty toward the individual with disabilities.
