Full Guardianship

Full guardianship is a legal arrangement where a court appoints an individual or organization to make decisions on behalf of another person who is unable to manage their own affairs due to reasons such as mental illness, developmental disabilities, or age. This guardian is responsible for making choices about personal care, finances, and living arrangements, prioritizing the individual's best interests. Full guardianship can limit the person's autonomy, as the guardian has broader authority compared to limited guardianship, which may only cover specific areas of decision-making.
