Court-Appointed Guardianship

Court-appointed guardianship is a legal arrangement in which a court designates an individual or organization to make decisions for someone unable to manage their personal or financial affairs, often due to age, illness, or disability. The guardian acts in the best interest of the ward (the person needing help), handling responsibilities such as healthcare, living arrangements, and managing assets. This process ensures that vulnerable individuals receive proper care and protection while maintaining their rights and dignity. Guardianship is established through a legal proceeding, with oversight to prevent abuse or mismanagement.
