What is a Professional Guardian?
A professional guardian is a court-appointed individual or organization responsible for making personal, medical, and/or financial decisions on behalf of someone unable to do so themselves due to age, illness, or disability. Guardians act in the best interest of the person they serve, ensuring their safety, well-being, and dignity.
Who might need a professional guardian?
Professional guardianship may be necessary for:
✓
Elderly individuals with Dementia or Alzheimer’s disease

Adults with developmental or cognitive disabilities

What’s the difference between a guardian and a power of attorney?
A power of attorney is a voluntary legal arrangement made while someone is still competent, allowing another person to act on their behalf. A guardian, on the other hand, is appointed by the court when someone is no longer able to make decisions and hasn’t designated a power of attorney.
Is professional guardianship permanent?
Not always. Guardianship can be temporary or permanent, depending on the individual’s condition. Courts regularly review guardianship cases, and if the person regains capacity, the guardianship can be modified or terminated.
How do I know if guardianship is the right step?
If you’re concerned about a loved one’s ability to make safe, informed decisions and there are no legal arrangements in place, it may be time to explore guardianship. We offer consultations to help you understand your options and determine whether guardianship is the right choice for you.
