The Alaska State Association for Guardianship and Advocacy (ASAGA) is a small, non-profit organization with a goal of providing education and support for those navigating the adult guardianship system.
We do not have staffing and run as a volunteer organization only. Daily assistance on guardianship related questions can be answered by the Guardianship Help Line with the Alaska Court System at 907-264-0520 or Guardianshiphelpline@akcourts.gov. ACS also has regular classes and online information. Here is a link to their direct page. ASAGA continues to have a few specialty programs and trainings for guardians and conservators of adults which include:
Annual Report Reminder: The Alaska Court System should mail a reminder letter approximately 30 days prior to the report due date however, you can sign up for the free service to receive a reminder via email 30 days prior to the report due date and the at 7 days of the report due date.
