Description
The guardian has the authority to pay the bills of the incapacitated person. They make sure that there are no self-neglect issues and prevent any devastating situation from occurring. A guardian prevents financial abuse and makes sure that the needs of the person are taken care of. They are responsible for paying rent, making sure there are groceries in the home, and taking care of utilities. Buying clothes and shoes as well as other daily care items are also the duty of the guardian. Lastly, the guardian must also take care of health care and taxes.
To become a guardian, an individual must petition the court. Once the petition is filed, the court conducts an evaluation. They will check the circumstances and facts regarding the case. They must prove that a guardianship is necessary. During the court hearing, the family members have a right to contest or approve the action. Notices are sent to all relatives, and they are welcome to attend the conference. During this session, the abilities of the said person are evaluated. After hearing testimony and seeing proof, the court will give a decision.
