Guardianship of Incapacitated Persons

Guardianship of incapacitated persons is a legal arrangement where a court appoints an individual or organization to make decisions on behalf of someone who cannot manage their own affairs due to mental or physical limitations. This guardian is responsible for the individual's personal care, financial matters, and medical decisions, ensuring their best interests are prioritized. The process typically involves a court evaluation of the individual's condition and a hearing to confirm the need for guardianship, aiming to protect vulnerable individuals while respecting their rights as much as possible.
