legal guardian

A legal guardian is an individual appointed by the court to make decisions for someone who is unable to care for themselves, such as a minor or an incapacitated adult. This person is responsible for managing the guardian’s personal needs, health care, education, and finances, ensuring their well-being and protection. The guardian acts in the best interest of the person under their care, following legal responsibilities and obligations set by the court. This arrangement is typically temporary or limited to certain areas, depending on the specific circumstances and legal order.
