Uniformed Guardianship Act

The Uniform Guardianship, Conservatorship, and Other Protective Arrangements Act is a law designed to create a consistent legal framework across different states for appointing guardians for individuals who are unable to care for themselves, such as minors or adults with disabilities. This act specifies how guardians are selected, their responsibilities, and how they should act in the best interests of the individuals they protect. By standardizing these processes, the act aims to ensure that vulnerable individuals receive appropriate care and support while respecting their rights and promoting their welfare.
