WHAT IS GAPS?
Guardianship and Protective Services, Inc., (“GAPS”) is a non-profit corporation organized under the laws of the State of Ohio. GAPS provides guardianship services to those individuals who qualify. Where the Probate Court determines that an individual is incompetent due to mental or physical illness or disability, GAPS will serve as guardian of the person, estate, or both. GAPS will complete duties as guardian according to current law, subject to court supervision.

GAPS was formed to insure that guardianship and conservator services continue to be available for Trumbull County residents who do not have family or other persons available or capable of performing the necessary roles and responsibilities of a guardian or conservator.

HOW DO I QUALIFY?
In order to qualify for guardianship services, an individual must be:
    60 years of age or older.
    A resident of Trumbull County.
    In need of guardianship services.
    Incompetent due to mental or physical illness or disability.
