These rights include the right to be informed of the guardianship process, the right to be informed of the guardian’s decisions, the right to object to the guardian’s decisions, the right to access the guardian’s records, and the right to receive a written statement of any proposed changes to the guardianship. The Notice also outlines the responsibilities of the guardian, including the requirement to act in the best interests of the incapacitated individual, the duty to act with care and diligence, the duty to keep accurate records, and the duty to provide notice of any proposed changes to the guardianship.
