Actions Filed Under the Uniform Adult Guardianship & Protective Proceedings Jurisdiction Act

Learn how to transfer guardianships and conservatorships between states under the Uniform Adult Guardianship & Protective Proceedings Jurisdiction Act (UAGPPJA).

You can file under UAGPPJA if you're bringing a guardianship or conservatorship case into Massachusetts, sending a case from Massachusetts to another state, or registering another state's order in Massachusetts.

If your guardianship case doesn’t need to be transferred, please see Guardianship of Minors or Guardianship & Conservatorship of Incapacitated Persons instead.
