Limited Guardianship

Limited guardianship is a legal arrangement where a guardian is appointed to make specific decisions for an individual who is unable to make those decisions themselves, due to mental or physical challenges. Unlike full guardianship, which removes all decision-making rights, limited guardianship allows the individual to retain some autonomy over their life. The guardian's authority is defined and restricted to particular areas, such as healthcare or financial matters, ensuring that the individual maintains control over other aspects of their life. This arrangement aims to balance protection with independence, supporting the individual's rights and preferences.
