Purpose
The Indiana Guardianship Oversight Task Force was established by Supreme Court order to: research guardianship best practices and innovative programming that affects guardianship oversight; identify possible strategies to align resources and improve guardianship oversight within Indiana’s judicial system; recommend innovations and strategies to improve adult guardianship functions—including enhanced communication protocols and the use of technology—to manage the guardianship system in Indiana; assess the potential impact of reform efforts on the Indiana judicial system; and develop improvements—including policies, procedures and pilot programming—that will lead to better outcomes for all stakeholders, such as protected persons and people at risk of guardianship.
The task force is required to provide a final report to the Supreme Court by December 1, 2025, with findings and recommendations on best practices, future programming, policies, and procedures to improve Indiana’s guardianship system
