Guardianship and Certified Ad Litem

Guardianship is the legal process by which a person obtains authority from a court in order to make decisions involving another person's care. The person appointed as a Guardian is often a family member, and the person, a ward, is the one will be taken care of under the grounds that he or she is incapacitated. This person may be a minor or an adult.

The proposed ward must be found to be "incapacitated". By law "Incapacitated person" means a minor or an adult that due to it?s a physical or mental condition, is unable to take care of him or herself and manage its own financial affairs. A Guardian can only do acts authorized by the Court and also may be given powers over the person of the ward, according to the situation.
