LINCOLN- The Nebraska Supreme Court has appointed a new director for the Office of Public Guardian, Marla Fischer. The court chose Fischer to replace Michelle Chafee, who retired. Fischer has served as the deputy director and has over nine years of experience with the Nebraska Judicial Branch.

As the new director, Fischer will be responsible for overseeing guardian and conservator services in the state. The office serves both rural and urban areas of Nebraska. The Office of Public Guardian was established by the legislature in 2014 to provide a public guardian or conservator for someone when there is no other alternative.

This service not only produces advocates for those in need but also provides education, training, and support for volunteer guardians and conservators. They also do recruiting across the state to expand their office. Fischer and her office provide an invaluable service to vulnerable Nebraskans.
