What is Guardianship?
Guardianship is a legal process that grants an individual or entity the legal authority to make decisions on behalf of someone who is unable to make decisions for themselves. This often applies to minors, individuals with disabilities, or elderly individuals who are no longer capable of managing their personal and financial affairs independently. The appointed guardian becomes responsible for ensuring the well-being, safety, and care of the person under their guardianship.
Types of Guardianship
-
Guardianship of a Minor: When parents are unable to care for their child due to incapacity, incarceration, or other circumstances, a guardianship can be established to ensure the child's needs are met. The appointed guardian assumes legal responsibility for the minor's well-being, including providing a stable home, education, healthcare, and making important decisions regarding their upbringing.
-
Guardianship of an Adult: In situations where an adult is deemed mentally or physically incapable of managing their personal and financial affairs, guardianship can be established to protect their interests. The appointed guardian assumes responsibility for making decisions related to healthcare, housing, finances, and overall welfare, ensuring the adult receives the necessary care and support.
-
Guardianship of the Person and Property: In some cases, separate individuals may be appointed as guardians of the person and guardians of the property. The guardian of the person is responsible for the individual's personal care, while the guardian of the property manages their financial affairs, including managing assets, paying bills, and making investment decisions.
How Can a Guardian Be Appointed?
There are several reasons a guardian may be appointed:
- When an adult lacks the capacity to make decisions for him or herself.
- If an adult is in need of protective services, such as medical care or housing.
- Due to the person's inability to handle his or her financial affairs.
