What is a Guardianship?
A guardianship is a legal arrangement where a court appoints an individual (the guardian) to care for and make decisions on behalf of another person (the ward) who is unable to manage their own personal or financial affairs. In family law, guardianships often involve minors or incapacitated adults who require legal protection and support.
There are different types of guardianships, including:
- Guardianship of the Person – managing healthcare, education, and daily needs.
- Guardianship of the Estate – handling financial matters and assets.
- Temporary or Emergency Guardianships – for urgent, short-term situations.
