The Texas Guardianship Manual has demonstrated its value to every lawyer who administers guardianships. The manual is organized by the logical sequence of events that would occur while following a matter from beginning to end. Each chapter contains a detailed table of contents; each contains practice notes concerning the topic of the chapter. The forms take up the greater part of most chapters. The uniform format of practice notes and forms is designed to enhance readability and ready reference and to accommodate easier word-processing use of the forms.
The new edition features new sections on end-of-life planning and declaration for mental health treatment. New and updated sections include:
- Surrogate Decision Making (with subsection on end-of-life planning)
- Interventional alternatives
- Declaration for mental health treatment
- Pooled trust subaccounts
- Management of community property by spouse
- Probate court jurisdiction
New and thoroughly updated forms include:
- Authorization agreement for nonparent relative
- Engagement letter
- Application and order for no administration/family allowance
- Application and order for removal of disabilities of minority
- Physician’s Certificate of Medical Examination
In addition, the new digital product (included with purchase of the manual) contains a custom tool bar for Word that allows users to show, hide, print, and delete all instructional material in the forms. And using the forms is made easier with prompts that help the user navigate through the decisions and options necessary to complete each form.
