Allows guardianship complaints for minors to be filed six months before they turn 18.

New Jersey S2332 allows a complaint for guardianship of a minor to be filed up to six months before the minor turns 18 if it is anticipated that the minor will require a guardian upon reaching adulthood. This aims to prevent delays in guardianship proceedings and ensure the minor has legal protection as they transition to adulthood. The bill also sets standards for filing guardianship complaints, including provisions for temporary guardians and the conditions under which a complaint cannot be withdrawn.
