Many people are surprised to learn that when a child with a disability reaches age of majority(18 in Ontario), their parents are no longer their legal guardians. So how can parents protect the legal rights of their adult children? Is adult guardianship a viable alternative? What is the state of supported decision making in Ontario?
In this webcast, Brendon Pooran of PooranLaw will provide an overview of legal issues families and people with a disability should be aware of.
The session will provide:
- An understanding of the law in Ontario as it pertains to a person with a developmental disability
- An awareness of consent and capacity issues
- Legal instruments families can utilize
- Discussion on real life legal scenarios
