Model Guardianship Legislation

Model Guardianship Legislation refers to a proposed framework aimed at improving the way guardians are appointed and monitored for individuals who cannot care for themselves due to age, disability, or other reasons. It ensures that guardians act in the best interest of those they represent, providing clear guidelines for responsibilities, decision-making authority, and the rights of the individuals. The legislation promotes accountability, encourages less restrictive options, and emphasizes the importance of personal autonomy. Overall, it seeks to protect vulnerable individuals while ensuring they receive the support they need.
