Joint Guardianship

Joint guardianship refers to a legal arrangement where two individuals share the responsibility for making decisions on behalf of a minor child or an incapacitated adult. Both guardians have equal rights and authority in matters such as education, healthcare, and welfare. This arrangement aims to ensure that the individual's best interests are prioritized, providing a broader support system. Joint guardianship can foster collaboration between guardians, allowing them to work together in the individual's care and decision-making process while offering stability and a diverse perspective in nurturing and advocating for the person's needs.
