Guardianship
Guardianship of a minor occurs when the minor’s parents are either deceased, unavailable to care for the child, or the minor has inherited or been awarded property. Adult guardianships occur when an adult individual loses the capacity to make their own financial and legal decisions on his or her own behalf, due to age, sickness or some other disability, which prevents them from taking care of themselves. The nomination of a guardian by parents, or by a last will and testament often weighs heavily in the court’s determination.
