What is Adult Guardianship?
Adult guardianship is a legal process that involves appointing a guardian to make decisions on behalf of an adult individual who is unable to make those choices for themselves. This can include decisions about healthcare, finances, and other important matters. While it is not a simple process and usually requires the assistance of a lawyer and a judge’s approval, it can provide peace of mind knowing that someone is looking out for your loved one’s best interests.
Benefits of Guardianship
Guardianship is an effective way to safeguard your loved ones – it ensures that someone with full cognitive abilities is making decisions on their behalf. This can prevent financial abuse and additionally, it provides clear legal authority to deal with third parties and establishes a process to obtain a judge’s approval for major decisions.
The Role of a Guardian
The role of a guardian/conservator can vary depending on the situation. This includes personal and financial decisions, such as managing the person’s assets and deciding on their place of residence. The conservator is also responsible for managing administrative tasks, such as liaising with doctors, Medicare, insurance companies, and long-term care facilities. Additionally, the conservator assists in applying for any benefits or medical coverage that they may be eligible for.
