legal

A guardianship is
a legal proceeding in which a guardian
exercises the legal rights of a ward.
Essentially, it is the process of asking a Judge to
appoint or approve an individual to look out for the
welfare of a another who is a child, or unable to care
of themselves.
Depending upon the
circumstances, a guardian may be chosen by you and
approved by the judge, or be chosen by the judge.
If a Power of Attorney does
not exist relating to the ward, a Guardianship may serve
the same purpose and authorities of a Power of Attorney.

In many cases,
the guardianship will name a family member as the
guardian. Under certain conditions in which the court
does not believe appointing a family member will be in
the best interest of the ward, a court appointed
guardian may be necessary for either the short term or
long-term interest of the ward.
A guardian is
bound by law to always act in the best interest of the
ward, and failure to do so can result in removal of
guardianship duties, and in serious cases, potential
criminal charges.
The role of a guardianship is an
important responsibility which the courts do not take
lightly, as the well being of one who cannot make
important life decisions for themselves are involved.
The one setting up a guardianship should
always choose an individual whom the have tremendous
trust in to be the Guardian of another, whether the
Guardianship is for you, your children, parent, or other
loved one.
