PA. DISABILITY ADVOCATES FILE SUIT TO CHALLENGE GUARDIANSHIP LAWS

Disability advocates and independent living centers in Pennsylvania have filed an Amicus Brief with the state Supreme Court. It centers on long-term care services for people with disabilities. The brief objects to an alleged overuse of guardianship under state law for disabled and older individuals.   Advocates say the issue affects every Pennsylvanian that may be at risk of having their rights restricted or removed due to age or disability.
