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
