What is a Guardianship?
A guardianship is a legal mechanism by which one individual or entity (a guardian/conservator) is appointed by a court to exercise certain decision-making functions on behalf of, and in the place of, an individual that is legally “incapacitated”. When guardianship is established, the incapacitated person’s legal right to make certain decisions with respect to his or her personal and/or financial affairs is removed and responsibility for making such decisions is placed in the court-appointed guardian.
A person may become “incapacitated” because of:
- Severe Developmental Disability
- Acute, Serious Mental or Physical Illness
- Alzheimer’s Disease, Dementia, and similar problems that can occur with old age
- Serious Illness or an Accident
- Alcoholism or Drug Abuse
There are circumstances in life that sometimes require the need to initiate a guardianship however, it is important to understand that many people who experience these problems are quite capable of making their own decisions and do not require a guardian.
