COURT VISITOR
ASSESSING NEEDS WITH CARE
We Provide New Mexicans With Attentive and Thorough Court Visitors.
When a guardianship or conservatorship case is filed, the court needs clear, unbiased insight to make the right decision. That’s where we come in.
​
Visions Case Management provides Court Visitors who approach each case with compassion, care, and integrity. Our team takes the time to understand the full picture—meeting with the individual at the heart of the case, listening to loved ones, and thoughtfully evaluating their needs, preferences, and living situation.
​
We know these are sensitive moments. That’s why we lead with respect, prioritize dignity, and ensure every voice is heard. Our reports are detailed, fair, and grounded in the belief that every New Mexican deserves thoughtful, person-centered advocacy.
Visions receives Court Visitor assignments through the New Mexico DDPC’s Office of Guardianship and from private paying clients.

What Do Court Visitors Do?
​A Court Visitor is appointed by a judge in guardianship or conservatorship proceedings to serve as an independent, neutral party. Their role is to gather information and provide an objective report to the court about the person at the center of the case—typically someone who may not be able to make fully informed decisions for themselves due to disability, illness, or cognitive decline. They gather this information by:
​
-
Visiting the person
-
Interviewing interested parties
-
Reviewing medical and financial records
-
Visiting present and potential placements.
​
The Court Visitor must collaborate with attorneys and other key members of the team when formulating recommendations for the Court. Our Court Visitors are thorough in their work and create individualized reports that incorporate health and safety recommendations. Evidence-based, these reports recommend the best possible course of action for each person’s well-being while maximizing their independence.
