Understanding Adult Guardianship
When seeking a guardianship over an adult, it is important to demonstrate to the court that the individual is incapacitated and unable to manage their personal affairs. This could include making medical decisions, handling day-to-day tasks, or managing their estate and property. Oftentimes, a guardian may need to oversee both the person’s well-being and their financial matters to ensure their best interests are protected.
It is essential to recognize that incapacity can be temporary, such as after a sudden illness or injury, or it may be a long-term condition like dementia in older adults. In these situations, obtaining guardianship can provide the necessary legal authority to make decisions on behalf of the incapacitated individual and prevent exploitation or misuse of their assets by others.
