Guardianships

A guardian for a minor may be needed in several situations. Both parents of the minor may have died or a remaining parent may be terminally ill or unfit. In such cases, the court gives a guardian the legal authority to care for the minor and for any property or estate interests that he or she may have. A guardian may be responsible for the person's well being, the estate, or both. When legally responsible for both, he or she is called a general guardian. A special guardian may be appointed by the court for specific limited powers, such as the disposition of his or her property. A guardian ad litem is one who is appointed to represent a minor's interests in litigation. A guardian has a fiduciary duty to his or her ward and must exercise a high ethical standard when using his or her powers regarding a minor's property or estate.
