This bill amends the existing laws governing the responsibilities of professional guardians in New Jersey, specifically regarding visitation and reporting requirements for the wards under their care. It establishes that registered professional guardians must personally visit their wards at least once every three weeks, or as deemed appropriate by the court, enhancing the previous requirement of once every three months. Additionally, the bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining sufficient contact with the ward to understand their capacities, limitations, needs, opportunities, and physical and mental health.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a provision allowing family members of the ward to request a report from the registered professional guardian regarding the condition of the ward and the estate under the guardian's control. This report must be prepared at intervals ordered by the court, ensuring that family members remain informed about the ward's well-being and circumstances. Overall, the bill aims to strengthen the oversight and accountability of guardianship practices in New Jersey.
