The legal guardianship document is a formal declaration to the court system that another party is responsible for the well-being of the minors.

A guardian is responsible for an elder or minor ward's personal care, providing them with a place to live, and with ensuring their medical needs are met. Guardians make sure that their ward has a place to live, such as the guardian's home, with a caretaker, or in an assisted living or full care facility.
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.
