In August 2021, the Guardianship Alternatives digital download was updated. The practice notes were reviewed and updated throughout, especially revising the discussions of supports and services; guardianship of veterans and dependents; durable power of attorney, statutory durable power of attorney, and medical power of attorney; supported decision-making agreements; in-hospital do not resuscitate order; end-stage planning and palliative care—statement of intent; emergency orders for protective services; and guardianship resources. Added were discussions of the Texas ABLE Program, the transfer on death deed, and the enhanced life estate “Lady Bird” deed.

All 51 forms were reviewed and updated as necessary; nine forms were affected by substantial revisions, including one existing form deleted and one new form added.
