Adult guardianship is a legal process in which a court appoints a guardian to make decisions for an adult who is unable to make their own decisions due to a mental illness, cognitive decline, physical incapacity, or developmental disability.
The need for guardianship can be avoided in many cases with proper planning to include the use of a power of attorney. A power of attorney can also help you nominate who you would want to act as your guardian. We can discuss with you any of your specific power of attorney needs.
