Caribbean American Justice Lisa S. Ottley says she is one of two judges presiding over Article 81 matters on guardianship cases in Kings Country (Brooklyn) Supreme Court.
Guardianship proceedings are commenced when there is an allegation that someone needs a guardian to be appointed over the person, property or both of an individual who is alleged to be incapacitated.
“During the pandemic the biggest challenge was being able to assess the individual who is alleged to be incapacitated due to the isolating aspect of the pandemic,” Justice Ottley, whose late father, George Ottley, hailed from Trinidad & Tobago, told Caribbean Life.
