Guardianship of a Minor

Guardianship is a legal arrangement in which a court appoints a responsible individual or entity to make decisions and manage the affairs of another person who is unable to do so themselves due to incapacity or disability.

In California, Guardianship proceedings are governed by specific laws and procedures designed to ensure the welfare and rights of the individual under Guardianship. A Guardianship can cover personal needs only or extend to managing the estate of a person who cannot handle their own finances.
