Guardianship of the Person
There are generally two types of guardianship that can be granted to individuals – guardianship of the person and guardianship of the property. Guardianship of the person allows for a family or court-appointed individual to take charge of an elderly person’s needs, including medical and residential decisions. Unlike guardianship of the property, guardianship of a person does not require the guardian to handle financial issues.
The following responsibilities may fall on a guardian of the elderly person:
- Where the elderly individual may be residing
- Following through with end-of-life wishes and planning
- Medical treatment
- Decisions on education
Guardianship of the Property
Establishing guardianship of the property will allow the assigned individual to make financial decisions, including:
- Paying bills on time
- Managing any income
- Overseeing appraisals and distribution of assets in a will or trust
