Guardianship is a legal arrangement in which a person (the guardian) is appointed by the court to manage the personal, financial, or medical affairs of another person (the ward) who cannot do so independently. This arrangement often applies in situations involving:

  • Minors: Children without parents or whose parents are unable to care for them.
  • Elderly Adults: Seniors with diminished capacity who need support with financial or personal decisions.
  • Disabled Individuals: Those with mental or physical impairments who require help managing daily life.
