What Is Guardianship?

When a person is no longer able to make decisions for themselves, a guardian can be appointed to help manage their care and personal affairs. If a person is diagnosed with a mental illness or a developmental disability, a guardian can be appointed to make decisions for them, including things like where they will live, what medical care they will receive, and how their money will be spent.

How Does a Guardianship Work?

A person who needs a guardian must first be declared incapacitated by the court. The person's family or friends can ask the court to appoint a guardian if they are concerned about the person's safety or well-being. A court-appointed guardian will then be appointed and will have the power to make decisions for the incapacitated person. A guardian can be a family member or friend, or it can be a professional guardian.

A court-appointed guardian is required to submit an annual report to the court about the incapacitated person's care. The court also has the power to terminate a guardian's appointment if they are not fulfilling their duties or are not providing quality care for the incapacitated person.
