Adult Guardianship

Adult guardianship is a legal process where a court appoints someone to make decisions for an adult who is unable to manage their own affairs due to disabilities, illness, or cognitive decline. This guardian can handle financial matters, healthcare decisions, and daily living needs on behalf of the individual. The goal is to protect the person's well-being and rights while ensuring their best interests are met. Guardianship can be temporary or permanent, depending on the individual's situation, and involves ongoing oversight to ensure accountability and proper care.
