Understanding Limited Guardianship

Limited guardianship is a legal arrangement where a guardian is given authority over certain aspects of an individual’s life, rather than having complete control. This form of guardianship is established when a person is capable of managing some, but not all, areas of their life and personal affairs.

The Role of a Limited Guardian

A limited guardian’s role is specific to the areas in which the individual, known as the ward, requires assistance. This may involve decisions about healthcare, financial matters, or personal care, depending on the individual’s specific needs. At Aguila Law, we provide guidance to limited guardians, ensuring they fulfill their duties effectively and responsibly.

Establishing Limited Guardianship

The process of establishing a limited guardianship involves court proceedings to determine the ward’s capabilities and the areas in which they require assistance. Our team at Aguila Law provides support and legal advice throughout this process, ensuring all steps are handled correctly and the interests of the ward are protected.

Protecting the Rights of the Ward

Even under limited guardianship, it’s crucial to ensure the ward’s rights are protected and their wishes respected as much as possible. Our team at Aguila Law is dedicated to advocating for the rights of the ward, ensuring their personal autonomy and dignity are upheld.

Monitoring the actions of a limited guardian is essential to ensure they are fulfilling their duties appropriately and acting in the best interest of the ward. Aguila Law provides comprehensive monitoring services, offering peace of mind that the ward’s needs are being met effectively and responsibly.

Considering Alternatives to Limited Guardianship

While limited guardianship can be an effective solution for many, it may not be the best fit for everyone. There are other forms of guardianship and alternatives, such as durable power of attorney or healthcare surrogates, which may be more suitable depending on the individual’s needs. Our team at Aguila Law evaluates these situations and can guide you towards the most appropriate solution.
