About Supported Decision-Making AgreementsSupported Decision-Making Agreement • November 8th, 2018
A supported decision making agreement (SDMA) is a process initiated by a person with a disability (the focus person) to assist that person with making decisions in one or several key areas of life. The agreement is recorded as a written document. This process ensures the individual’s choices are protected but is also mindful of areas of vulnerability. Supported decision-making agreements are tools to strengthen existing relationships and involve others. The existence of this agreement at the very least creates a moral authority and if enough people begin to use them could nudge into the area of legal authority as has happened with living wills. It can also be useful in cases of petitioning for partial guardianship.

HB 336: THE SUPPORTED DECISION-MAKING AGREEMENT ACTSupported Decision-Making Agreement • June 20th, 2018
A supported decision-making agreement may be entered into by an adult who wants assistance with getting information, weighing options, identifying possible outcomes, or communicating decisions to others. It is a tool that can help seniors who have an early diagnosis of dementia and who want a commitment of support from multiple caregivers, rather than relying only on their spouse or an adult child. Adults who want to continue the support and advice of family and friends but who don’t want to lose responsibility for their choices can avoid unnecessary guardianships with supported decision-making agreements. And those adults who have guardians, but who understand the nature and effect of an agreement, can use the agreements to build their capacity by experiencing shared responsibility for making decisions – while still having the oversight of a guardian.
