NJSBA Family Law Section

Hello Family Law Section members,

On Friday, Oct. 5, NJICLE will present Handling Contested Guardianships from 9 a.m. to 12:35 p.m. at the New Jersey Law Center.

Join us for this informative program to learn what to do when a guardianship proceeding ends up being contested. Our experienced panel will provide you with the tools you need to effectively represent your clients, including what you need to file a guardianship proceeding and what to look out for if you suspect that the matter will be contested. A sitting judge will provide you with the judicial perspective on contested guardianships.
