What types of guardianships are there?

  • Guardianship of Estate: responsible for financial and estate matters only.
  • Guardianship of Person: responsible for non-financial decision making.
  • Guardianship of Person and Estate: a full guardianship of person and estate.

Limited guardianship: the court can choose to let an incapacitated person retain any rights it feels he/she is capable of exercising on his/her own.

Co-guardianship: can be of person, estate, or both. This is when two persons share the decision making responsibility equally.
