What Is Legal Guardianship?

Legal guardianship gives a court-appointed person — called the guardian — the power to make decisions for another person — called the ward — who can’t manage their own affairs. This setup helps take care of the personal, financial and healthcare needs of those who can’t do it themselves.

A guardian’s duties include managing the ward’s money, making healthcare choices and ensuring their well-being. Guardianship creates a legal way to protect and care for vulnerable people under court supervision.

Guardianship Of An Adult

The guardianship of adults involves overseeing the affairs of individuals who are incapacitated due to age, disability or other factors. The process requires court approval and ongoing oversight to ensure the guardian acts in the best interests of the ward.

Adult guardianship addresses critical issues such as healthcare decisions, financial management and daily care needs, ensuring the ward receives necessary support and protection.
