Supreme Court of New Hampshire

In re Guardianship of L.N.

February 19, 2020

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Hampshire held that RSA 464-A:25, I(d) gives a guardian the authority to withdraw life‑sustaining treatment without prior court approval, unless the court expressly limits that power under RSA 464-A:25, II. Accordingly, the Court reversed the trial court’s order denying the guardian that authority and vacated in part the guardianship order.
