Purpose of this Resource

FASD-CAN has developed this resource to provide parents, caregivers, whānau and families information about options they can discuss and consider with their FASD family member to legally protect their welfare and assets.   There is no right or wrong way to do this, or even a requirement to take any action at all.  Everybody’s situation is unique and different.  But FASD-CAN does encourage families and whānau to sit down and at least talk about the legal options that are available to protect the best-interests of their loved-one.
