Court-appointed Guardian

A court-appointed guardian is a person designated by a court to make decisions on behalf of someone who is unable to make those decisions for themselves, often due to mental illness, disability, or age. The guardian is responsible for the individual's personal care or financial matters, ensuring their well-being and best interests are prioritized. The court oversees the guardian’s actions to prevent abuse or neglect, and the guardian must act in accordance with the law and any specific instructions provided by the court. This role is crucial in protecting the rights and needs of vulnerable individuals.
