Plenary Guardianship

Plenary guardianship is a legal arrangement where a court appoints a guardian to make all personal and financial decisions for someone deemed incapable of managing their own affairs, often due to mental incapacity or disability. This guardian has comprehensive authority, which can include decisions about healthcare, living arrangements, and financial matters, ensuring the individual's needs are met. The arrangement is intended to protect the vulnerable person's interests while providing oversight to prevent potential abuse or neglect. However, it also limits the individual's autonomy, as they no longer have control over these crucial aspects of their life.
