Court Visitors

About Court Visitors

A Court Visitor must be appointed in adult guardianships, and may be appointed in conservatorships and minor guardianships. The Visitor is someone who has training or expertise to evaluate the case. The Visitor makes recommendations to the court regarding the capacity of the respondent, and whether the proposed guardian is appropriate.

Collaborative Meetings

To support court visitors with their essential work, OJD has begun a quarterly program for group discussion among visitors that will include visitor training topics. Court visitors interested in an invitation to these sessions may contact JFCPD to register.
