DDC Office of Guardianship

The Developmental Disabilities Council (DDC) Office of Guardianship (OOG) is a statewide publicly funded program for New Mexican adults who need a Guardian, are income-eligible and are alleged to be incapacitated. OOG Services include:

  • Educating the public about the least restrictive alternatives and guardianship;

  • One-time legal services to request the State District Court to appoint a Family or Professional Guardian for income-eligible adults;

  • Providing Professional Guardians to Protected Persons who do not have family or natural supports who are able to become the Guardian;

  • Providing Mental Health Treatment Guardians;

  • Recruiting and contracting with Professional Guardians, Attorneys, and Court Visitors;

  • Responding to and investigating complaints against Professional Guardians contracted with DDC.

Falling Colors is excited to partner with DDC to manage the collection and payment of guardianship services. This document space details how DDC Staff and Vendors will use the NMSTAR application.
