In this interesting and informative video, Fredrick P. Niemann, Esq., a New Jersey Medical Guardianship Attorney, discusses the process by which an emergent medical Guardianship can be filed on behalf of an incapacitated person unable to communicate their instructions for healthcare. The video discusses the options available to petition the Court to authorize an emergent medical procedure or a Guardianship for general medical needs when a person is unable to make healthcare decisions for themselves.
Mr. Niemann emphasizes the importance of having an Advanced Healthcare Directive available, but if not, possible Medical Guardianship is available to family members to obtain authorization to perform an emergent medical procedure.
