The purpose of a guardianship is to grant another person limited authority over an incapacitated person, but only to the extent required by such person's mental and/or physical limitations.
A guardian is the person or entity appointed to serve as the legal representative of an incapacitated person. This appointment can be temporary or permanent.
What is an "incapacitated person"? An incapacitated person is a minor or an adult, who because of a physical or mental condition, is substantially unable to provide food, clothing or shelter, or to provide for their own physical health and/or to manage their own financial affairs.
There are three types of guardianships:
The incapacitated person needs assistance with medical care and decisions involving daily living.
The incapacitated person has either real property or personal property and can no longer manage such property. A guardian is appointed to manage, protect, and use the estate for the benefit of the incapacitated person.
An incapacitated person who needs assistance with medical care, daily living decisions and management of real or personal property.
