Understanding Guardianship Laws
Guardianship of adults, also known as conservatorship in some states, is a legal mechanism established to protect the well-being and assets of individuals who are unable to make informed decisions due to physical or mental limitations. The process involves petitioning the court to appoint a guardian who will assume responsibility for the incapacitated adult's financial matters, medical treatment, living arrangements, and other crucial decisions.

Families facing the need for a guardian may encounter various challenges throughout the process. Understanding these challenges is crucial to addressing them effectively.
