What Can We Do? – Alaska State Association for Guardianship & Advocacy (ASAGA)

Unless otherwise noted – there is NO FEE for these services. ASAGA is an all volunteer non-profit organization that can assist families and others navigate the adult guardianship system. We can provide referrals, consults and more. We work closely with the Alaska Court System which now provides a Guardianship Helpline staffed Monday through Friday. This is a free service and you can call 907-264-0520 for more immediate assistance. Interpreter services are available through the Alaska Court System helpline. ASAGA’s programs include…

Annual Report Reminders – Daily life can get busy so let us help you remember your duty to the Court and remind you of the Annual Report. Contact ASAGA with your reporting dates and we’ll provide an email or text 30 days ahead and 7 days ahead of the due date based on your preferred method of contact. We can also assist in filling out the annual report. Sign up on our website.

Training – ASAGA provides webinars over your computer or phone on various topics throughout the year. If you would like to receive updates on what we offer, contact us to be added to our email distribution list. Many of the webinars are then recorded and provided on our website for later viewing.

Conference Scholarship – See our Jackson Stanley Conference Scholarship page for more information or an application form. ASAGA will send an Alaskan guardian or guardianship professional to the National Guardianship Association conference each year which is held in different parts of the country each year. Applications accepted from October to the end of April.

Annual Conference – This is the only program we have a fee for where ASAGA hosts a conference each October on various topics on guardianship and conservatorship issues. See the ASAGA Conference for more information.

What we cannot do:

ASAGA is not a legal service. We cannot provide legal advice or become involved in an ongoing case. We do not represent individuals. We cannot become a guardian or conservator for someone. If your request borders on legal advice or crosses over into something we cannot do, we will indicate so and do our best to find the right entity to help with your situation.
