What is a Guardianship?
A legal guardian in Arizona has similar responsibilities to a parent. The guardian is responsible for making decisions for the ward relating to living arrangements, education, social activities, and authorization or withholding of medical or other professional care, treatment, or advice. The guardian must always make decisions that are in the best interests of the ward and ensure that the ward is living in the least restrictive environment in which the ward can remain safe.
Having a Legal Guardian Can Help In The Following Ways:
- Protect the loved one
- Ensure his/her safety
- Use his/her interests as the presiding factor in light of available assets
- Consider long-term and short-term plans after assessing the asset situation
- Minimize expense
- Mitigate the risk of loss to your ward
