GUARDIANSHIP OF INCAPACITATED PERSONS - TEMPORARY RELAXATION OF SURROGATES' NOTICING REQUIREMENTS OF AMENDED RULE 4:86-6(f)(5)

GUARDIANSHIP OF INCAPACITATED PERSONS - TEMPORARY RELAXATION OF

SURROGATES' NOTICING REQUIREMENTS OF AMENDED RULE 4:86-6(f)(5)

As part of its August 1, 2016 omnibus rule amendment order, the Supreme Court

adopted a number of amendments to Rule 4:86 ("Action for Guardianship of an

Incapacitated Adult or for the Appointment of a Conservator") to be effective September

1, 2016, including adoption of a new paragraph setting out noticing requirements for the

Surrogates (Rule 4:86-6(f)(5)). This Notice is to advise that the Court has extended the

effective date of that specific paragraph - Rule 4:86-6(f)(5) ("Hearing; Judgment -Duties

of Surrogate") -to March 1, 2017. The reason for that extension is to allow for

the completion of the systems reprogramming necessary to that noticing. Attached is

the Court's August 25, 2016 rule relaxation order extending that effective date. Note

that all of the remaining August 1, 2016 amendments to Rule 4:86 will retain the

September 1, 2016 effective date.
