Uniform Guardianship Act

The Uniform Guardianship Act is a legal framework designed to provide consistent rules across different states for the appointment and responsibilities of guardians for individuals who are unable to care for themselves due to age, disability, or other reasons. It aims to protect the rights and welfare of these individuals while ensuring that guardianship is managed fairly and ethically. The Act promotes clarity in the process of designating guardians and provides guidelines for their duties, helping to prevent abuse and ensuring that the needs of vulnerable persons are met effectively.
