Video #1 Alternatives to Interdiction

This video will identify the next steps once the court has issued a judgement in favor of interdiction. Steps include Certified Letters, record keeping, financial responsibilities, visits, and the Annual Report to the court.

Video #3 Duties Curator of the Person

This session will include information on communication with the interdict and their family, medical professionals/appointments, written plan of care, as well as communication with the undercurator, the courts and the Annual Report. It will also include reasons a curator may be removed.

Video #4 Duties Curator of Property
