Guardianship
The legal process of guardianship also known as conservatorship, grants a person the power to make personal, financial and/or health decisions for a loved one that has suffered reduced capabilities due to illness, disease, age, or disability. Typically, guardianship is awarded when an individual has lost the ability to make or communicate safe or sound decisions regarding himself/herself or their property or has become vulnerable to fraud or undue influence. An individual's rights may be diminished considerably if guardianship is established. For this reason, guardianship should only be considered after other alternatives have proven ineffective.
