Just wanted to share that Joann Jones (founder of The Home Farms and guardian to her two adult children with DD) RECEIVED a waiver of the “educational requirements) from our local Judge.   She made the request based on the fact that she is the individuals’ mother and has been each of their respective guardian for decades.
 
I am sending samples of said letters to folks who have expressed an interest to me.

Subject: Guardianship: new requirements
 
I am trying to bring myself up to speed on the new rules for adult guardians.
 
We are a small business with 12 individuals.  Eleven of them have known their guardians for years, if not decades.  
 
I am working on getting the “educational requirements” for the initial 6 hour course waived by the court.  Also, the 3 hour continuing ed. course requirement.
 
If anyone is interested OR has any suggestions, please contact me directly or through the listserve.    I have NO idea how much interest there might be.   I just know how tedious and cumbersome it will be for some of the guardians to have to do this.   I don’t even want them to have to worry about it!
