Guardianship is a planning alternative to ensure continuity of care for a family member who has an intellectual or other developmental disability. Guardianship is a legal proceeding in the Surrogate's Court which designates a parent, relative, friend, or an organization such as NYSARC, Inc. ( our parent organization) to act on behalf of an individual who has an intellectual disability and is unable to manage personal affairs without assistance. The NYSARC, Inc. Corporate Guardianship program was established in 1970 and offers a permanent commitment to parents to ensure the continuity of care and protection for the entire life of their family member who has an intellectual disability.
