What is a Guardianship?
Guardianship is available when an individual is incapacitated by mental or physical limitations.
A person is “incapacitated” if they are any of the following:
(A) a minor;
(B) an adult individual who, because of a physical or mental condition, is substantially unable to provide food, clothing, or shelter for himself or herself, to care for the individual’s own physical health, or to manage the individual’s own financial affairs; or
(C) a person who must have a guardian appointed to receive funds due the person from any governmental source.
