The new rules on Guardianship in Massachusetts are causing some confusion. They were designed to protect people more than the old laws, but that means they are more complex and less easy to follow. It is likely that some changes will occur over time as technical amendments correct any flaws in the new system.
There is a website dedicated to the new Probate Code in Massachusetts. The blog there discusses many of the good and bad points of the new law.
