Join us for a virtual panel discussion on Supported Decision Making (SDM). Hear from Westchester County Surrogate’s Court (which grants guardianship petitions in the county) and SDMNY (the organization which oversees facilitation of SDM projects in NY state).
- What is Supported Decision Making, and what is the significance of New York’s Supported Decision-Making Act, signed by Governor Kathy Hochul in the summer of 2022?
- How does Supported Decision Making differ from guardianship?
- What does Westchester Surrogate’s Court consider when recommending SDM after a guardianship petition is filed?
Panelists include:
- Joy Beane, Court Attorney Referee, Westchester County Surrogate’s Court
- Kristin Booth Glen, Professor and Dean Emerita at the City University of New York School of Law and Former Director of Supported Decision-Making New York (SDMNY)
- Jody Keltz, Supervising Court Attorney, Westchester County Surrogate’s Court
- Judge Brandon R. Sall, Surrogate, Westchester County
