​

Guardianship is sought when an individual does not have the ability to care for their own needs and someone must be appointed to legally make decisions for them.

​

There are several different types of guardianship.

1. Guardian advocacy - When an individual has a development or other disability that occurred prior to the age of eighteen (18), a guardianship advocacy may be necessary.

2. Guardian of a minor child - when a minor child suffers the passing of both natural parents, a guardian may need to be appointed to legally make decisions for the child and care for the child’s needs.  Also, if a minor child receives a settlement or inheritance over a certain value, a guardian must be appointed to manage the funds for the child’s benefit.

3. Guardianship of an adult - if an individual can no longer care for their own needs, a guardian may need to be appointed to make decisions on their behalf.​
