Every year, a Guardian of an adult, and a guardian who is not related to his or her minor ward, must file an Annual Report stating the condition of the ward, whether the Guardianship should continue, how he or she cared for the ward during the last year, and what the plans are to care for the ward for the next year.
A Guardian usually signs legal documents on behalf of the Ward, chooses an appropriate living situation for the Ward, and grants, withholds, and withdraws consent to medical treatment. In most situations, it is necessary to disclose the Guardian/Ward relationship.
A guardian is also prohibited from making gifts from the ward's estate. Generally, a guardian cannot tie up the ward's money by purchasing real estate, but can lend the money to someone else buying real estate if the property is sufficient security for the loan.
Specific advantages include: Security Once you are named as guardian, you can be confident that you will be able to provide care for your ward for years to come. Legal Rights You will have the legal right to make financial, medical, and other decisions on behalf of your ward (in most cases).
