ESTATE DEPARTMENT

The Office of Public Guardian Estate Department has over 40 years combined experience in managing the finances of Office of Public Guardian wards as guardian of the estate, as Representative Payee, as Power of Attorney, Trustee and Conservator. Our experience includes knowledge of probate court requirements for estate guardianships, knowledge of federal and state public benefits eligibility requirements, Special Needs Trusts, the NH service delivery system, public housing as well as individual budgeting. Our system enables Office of Public Guardian to meet the individual needs of our wards with our check writing system. We are able to provide wards and interested parties financial information as needed and annually in a formal accounting report.

In situations where an individual has significant assets, the OPG works with TD Banknorth Wealth Management  Group to maximize the ward's assets while ensuring that individual needs are met.
