How Guardianship Helps Individuals And Families
Guardianships create a specific legal relationship between a person and their guardian. It creates a legal and financial duty on behalf of the guardian. Guardians are responsible for the care and well-being of those in their charge. As a guardian, you will be able to:
- Help manage your loved one’s finances

How Guardianships Can Protect The Vulnerable

- Legal authority: Guardians can receive and sign legal documents on behalf of the vulnerable individual. This can allow guardians to sign off on significant medical, financial or other decisions that can affect the vulnerable individual’s life.
