court-appointed guardians
Court-appointed guardians are individuals designated by a court to manage the personal or financial affairs of someone who is unable to do so themselves, often due to age, disability, or mental incapacity. They are responsible for making decisions in the best interest of the person, ensuring their well-being, safety, and financial stability. Guardians can be responsible for the person's daily care or their financial matters, or both, depending on the court's order. The guardian is accountable to the court and must act in the best interest of the ward, maintaining transparency and adhering to legal oversight.
