2024 National Conference on Guardianship

NGA believes that those appointed to the care of guardians, conservators, and fiduciaries deserve quality services and that every person should be provided respect, due process, rights, and dignity in guardianship. NGA represents more than 1000 guardians, conservators, and fiduciaries from across the United States who share this vision. They are professionals, volunteers, and family guardians.

NGA seeks to protect adults under guardianship by ensuring that their guardians receive quality education and access to resources. The association is recognized as the leading national resource for professional development.

NGA set the standard for quality in guardianship by establishing national practice standards for individuals (link to standards) in 2000 and for agencies (link to agency standards) in 2008. These standards have been, and continue to be, reviewed and revised to ensure that the most current standards are promoted.

NGA cooperates with other organizations such as the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, the American Bar Association, the National College of Probate Judges, and AARP, to affect positive change in guardianship policy.
