What Is Guardianship?
Guardianship is a legal process that grants an individual or entity the legal authority to make decisions on behalf of someone who is unable to make decisions for themselves. This often applies to minors, individuals with disabilities, or elderly individuals who are no longer capable of managing their personal and financial affairs independently. The appointed guardian becomes responsible for ensuring the well-being, safety, and care of the person under their guardianship.
Different Guardianship Arrangements Explained
Guardianship for Minors: When parents are unable to care for their child due to incapacity, incarceration, or other circumstances, a guardianship can be established to ensure the child's needs are met. The appointed guardian assumes legal responsibility for the minor's well-being, including providing a stable home, education, healthcare, and making important decisions regarding their upbringing.
Adult Guardianship: In situations where an adult is deemed mentally or physically incapable of managing their personal and financial affairs, guardianship can be established to protect their interests. The appointed guardian assumes responsibility for making decisions related to healthcare, housing, finances, and overall welfare, ensuring the adult receives the necessary care and support.
Guardianship of Person and Estate: In some cases, separate individuals may be appointed as guardians of the person and guardians of the estate. The guardian of the person is responsible for the individual's personal care, while the guardian of the estate manages their financial affairs, including managing assets, paying bills, and making investment decisions.
Guardian Appointment Process in the Bronx
There are several reasons a guardian may be appointed:
- When an adult lacks the capacity to make decisions for themselves.
- If an adult is in need of protective services, such as medical care or housing.
- Due to the person's inability to handle their financial affairs.
If you are concerned about an elderly relative or a loved one who may need a guardian, it is important to speak with an experienced guardianship attorney as soon as possible. We can help you understand your options and rights.
