At the Hayes & Wilson, PLLC law firm, we have guided many families and individuals through the guardianship process. We know what a difficult decision guardianship can be, and we compassionately help our clients accomplish the guardianship as efficiently as possible.
- A guardian of the person is responsible for the care, control, and protection of the ward (person under guardianship), deciding where the ward will reside, and having the authority to consent to the ward's medical treatment.
- A guardian of the estate provides for the management of all the ward's personal and real property, assets, and income, although in some situations, the court may appoint a trustee to manage the ward's financial affairs.
- A ward may be a minor child (under 18) or an adult unable to provide for his or her own care or make financial decisions.
