Do you have adult guardianship cases in which more than one state is involved? With our increasingly mobile society, attorneys frequently face interstate guardianship problems.

This webinar will cover the basics of the Uniform Adult Guardianship and Protective Proceedings Jurisdiction Act, passed by 37 states, DC, and Puerto Rico. The reporter for the Act, along with a prominent probate attorney, will explain the Act's provisions on initial jurisdiction, transfer of cases to another state, and out-of-state recognition and enforcement of orders, as well how the Act works in practice.

CLE:

States typically decide whether a program qualifies for MCLE credit in their jurisdiction 4-8 weeks after the program application is submitted. For many live events, credit approval is not received prior to the program.

The ABA applies for and ordinarily receives CLE credit for ABA live webinars and teleconferences in AL, AK, AR, AZ, CA, CO, DE, GA, GU, HI, IA, IL, IN, KY, LA, MN, MO, MT, NM, NY, NC, ND, OK, OR, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA, VI, VT, WA, WI, and WV.

The ABA does not seek direct accreditation of live webinars and teleconferences in FL, ID, KS, NE, NH, NJ, OH, PA, RI, and WY. Some states allow attorneys to earn credit through reciprocity or selfsubmission. View accreditation information for your state. The ABA will seek credit for this program in the states indicated on this page.

The ABA will seek 1.5 hours of general CLE credit in 60-minute states and 1.8 hours of CLE credit in 50-minute states. Credit hours granted are subject to each state's approval and credit rounding rules.
