New Jersey S3764 clarifies court authority to limit guardian restrictions on ward visitation by family and interested parties.

New Jersey S3764 clarifies the court's power to limit restrictions by guardians on visitation by family and interested parties in guardianship cases. The bill mandates that when an application for visitation is made, the court must set a hearing date for the order to show cause and issue a temporary order within ten days of the order's signing. It establishes a rebuttable presumption in favor of visitation, allowing it to be denied only if there is clear and convincing evidence that it is not in the best interest of the incapacitated individual.
