Is Guardianship the Help You Need?
You may need assistance with guardianship if:
- A loved one cannot make financial or personal care decisions due to incapacity.
- Disputes arise about who should act as a guardian.
- You need legal authority to manage someone’s affairs or care.
Guardianship can be a necessary step to protect vulnerable individuals and ensure their well-being.
Understanding Guardianship
Guardianship grants legal authority to an individual or entity to make decisions on behalf of someone who cannot make those decisions themselves due to incapacity. Typical guardianship scenarios include:
- Financial Guardianship
Managing assets, paying bills, and making financial decisions on behalf of the individual. - Personal Care Guardianship
Ensuring proper medical care, housing, and other personal needs are met. - Resolving Disputes
Legal intervention is often required when family members disagree about who should act as a guardian.
Challenges in Guardianship Matters
- Proving Incapacity: Legal requirements for establishing incapacity can be complex.
- Family Conflicts: Disagreements among relatives can make guardianship disputes contentious.
- Ongoing Responsibilities: Guardians must meet legal standards and fulfil fiduciary duties.
