THE ND GUARDIANSHIP EXIT KIT™

$67.00

How to protect your child’s rights at 18 and reverse guardianship if it already happened

Turning 18 should not mean losing autonomy.

And yet, many neurodivergent young adults lose their legal rights not because they can’t make decisions but because families were rushed, misinformed, or told there were no other options.

This kit exists to slow that moment down, restore choice, and help families move out of guardianship when it isn’t necessary — or avoid it entirely.

How to protect your child’s rights at 18 and reverse guardianship if it already happened

Turning 18 should not mean losing autonomy.

And yet, many neurodivergent young adults lose their legal rights not because they can’t make decisions but because families were rushed, misinformed, or told there were no other options.

This kit exists to slow that moment down, restore choice, and help families move out of guardianship when it isn’t necessary — or avoid it entirely.

Who This Is For

This kit is for you if:

  • Your child is approaching 18 and guardianship has been presented as “the default”

  • Guardianship was already put in place and now feels too restrictive

  • You want to understand supported decision-making and less-restrictive alternatives

  • You were told “this is just how it works” and something in you knew that wasn’t true

  • You want scripts, language, and templates, not just theory

  • You care deeply about your child’s dignity, voice, and long-term autonomy

This is not about forcing independence before someone is ready.
It’s about preserving rights while building support.

What This Kit Helps You Do

The ND Guardianship Exit Kit™ helps families:

  • Understand what guardianship actually removes — and what it doesn’t need to

  • Evaluate whether guardianship is appropriate right now

  • Explore alternatives like:

    • Supported decision-making

    • Powers of attorney

    • Limited or modified guardianship

  • Prepare language for conversations with:

    • Attorneys

    • Courts

    • Schools and transition teams

    • Medical providers

  • Begin the process of reversing or modifying guardianship when it no longer fits

All in plain language, designed for overwhelmed parents and ND families.

What’s Included

1. Clear, Grounded Foundation (No Legal Jargon)

  • What guardianship is — and what it legally does

  • What rights are transferred (and why this matters long-term)

  • Common myths families are told

  • Why “capacity” is often misunderstood for ND young adults

  • When guardianship may be appropriate and when it’s not

2. Decision-Support Framework

A structured way to assess:

  • Where your child needs support vs. autonomy

  • What decisions they can already make with scaffolding

  • Which alternatives fit your child, not a system default

This helps you move from panic → clarity.

3. Scripts & Language

Copy-and-paste scripts for:

  • Attorneys

    • “We are not seeking full guardianship. We want to explore less-restrictive alternatives.”

  • Courts

    • Language that centers dignity, support, and rights

  • Schools / Transition Teams

    • Clarifying post-18 decision-making without erasing student voice

  • Medical Providers

    • Access without overreach

  • Family Members

    • Explaining your choice calmly, without defending or justifying

Short versions. Longer versions. Low-energy versions.

4. Templates & Practical Tools

  • Guardianship alternatives comparison worksheet

  • Rights-preservation checklist

  • Questions to bring to a lawyer before signing anything

  • Talking points for transition meetings

  • Documentation prompts to support modification or reversal

Designed so you don’t have to invent language under pressure.

What This Kit Is Not

  • Not legal advice

  • Not a substitute for an attorney

  • Not a judgment about families who chose guardianship

It is a decision-support and language system so you can walk into legal conversations informed, grounded, and prepared.

Why This Exists

Too many families are told:

“Guardianship is the safest option.”

Without being told:

  • What rights are lost

  • What alternatives exist

  • How hard it can be to reverse

  • How often ND young adults are underestimated

The ND Guardianship Exit Kit™ exists to put choice back into a moment that is often handled with fear.
