Guardianship of the Person: This type gives the guardian the power to make decisions about the wards personal lifewhere they live, what medical care they receive, and who they interact with. Guardianship of the Estate: This type allows the guardian to manage the wards finances, property, and legal affairs.
If you believe an adult is incapable of managing their personal care, their financial affairs, or both, you may petition the court to appoint a guardian to promote the persons well-being or protect the persons human and civil rights. The court may appoint a total guardian or a limited guardian.
Voluntary Guardianship A mentally competent individual can appoint someone as their guardian. The court may or may not be involved in this process. When courts are not involved, the guardianship is typically only valid for six months and must be renewed after that period.
To initiate guardianship, it must first be established that the adult is incapacitated. The court appoints an attorney to represent the interests of the potentially disabled adult. If the court finds the individual unable to make and understand their own decisions, the process to appoint a guardian moves forward.
