NCLER is a one-stop support center for the legal services and aging and disability community, offering trainings, case consultations, and technical assistance on a broad range of legal issues impacting older adults. NCLER is administered by Justice in Aging under a contract with the Administration for Community Living (ACL), in partnership with the National Consumer Law Center and the ABA Commission on Law & Aging.

“Imagine a system of justice in this country that strips its citizens of their Constitutional rights, voids their existing legal documents, gives others the right to spend their money and sell their assets, isolates them, and has the ability to limit the time they can spend with their loved
ones.

This description refers to a judicial system that preys on the elderly and is determined to deem them unable to care for themselves. It is a system that allows those in control to take full advantage of their “wards of the state”—legally and under the watchful eyes of judges. It is called guardianship.”
