What Court Visitors Do

Court Visitors serve as neutral evaluators appointed by the court to assess the needs, safety, and circumstances of an individual who may require guardianship. Our LCSWs conduct comprehensive, person‑centered evaluations that include:

• In‑home or facility‑based visits to observe living conditions, supports, and daily functioning

• Clinical interviews with the individual, caregivers, and relevant collaterals

• Review of medical, behavioral health, and social history

• Assessment of decision‑making capacity, risks, and protective factors

• Evaluation of the least restrictive alternatives

• Clear, structured written reports that meet New Mexico Office of Guardianship and district court standards
