How to apply for guardianship
Decide whether becoming a legal guardian is right for your situation.
Guardians are court-supervised caretakers for minors and incapacitated persons. Guardians are responsible for the wellbeing of their wards (the person for whom they are the guardian), and may also be responsible for handling the person's assets and finances.
OPTIONS: *Guardianship does not provide the services required for that person's needs. If your ward is elderly, there are potential complications associated with taking guardianship if necessary.; *The guardian must periodically report to the court on the ward's status. Make sure that you are prepared to accept the responsibility of acting as a legal guardian.; *Depending on the circumstances, guardianship may or may not be an option for your situation. Talk to your primary care care provider.; *In some cases, a guardian may not be an effective caretaker. Guardianship however is useful if someone dies of an illness or is unable to live during a particularly stressful time, such as a medical emergency or job merger.;
