Guardianship Policies

Guardianship policies are rules that govern how a guardian is appointed and what responsibilities they have to care for someone who cannot make decisions for themselves, such as a minor or an adult with disabilities. These policies ensure that guardians act in the best interest of the person they’re caring for, including managing their personal and financial needs. They also establish procedures for selecting guardians, overseeing their actions, and protecting the rights and well-being of the individual under guardianship. Overall, these policies help ensure appropriate and ethical care and decision-making for vulnerable individuals.
