New Massachusetts Medical Certificate for Guardianships

By Leanna Hamill, Esq.

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Massachusetts Probate Courts have come out with a new, much more comprehensive, medical certificate to be used when petitioning for a guardianship of a person.  The old form was 2 pages, and consisted mostly of blank lines, which left it up to the doctor filling the form to come with what information he or she thought was needed.  The new form is 8 pages, and requires much more detailed information from the doctor.  It also requires the doctor to specify whether a limited guardianship or a full guardianship is needed.
