When an adult is no longer capable of making financial or personal care decisions, their family may need court-appointed authority to be their guardian of property or personal care. The adult guardian is court-appointed when someone who is mentally incapable doesn’t have a POA to represent their interests and can’t express their personal preferences for day-to-day affairs like paying bills.
Adult guardians are substitute decision-makers on health care, housing, safety, nutrition, hygiene, and even clothing for the person they represent. Unless it is impossible, the guardian must respect any advance directives or wishes the person expressed when they were capable, such as not being resuscitated in case of life-threatening illness or injury.

Do you need guardianship if you have power of attorney (POA)? No, because a POA is created while an adult is capable of making decisions, but wants assistance managing day-to-day affairs like paying bills or is planning ahead for a day when they could be incapacitated.

Guardians are court appointed when someone who is mentally incapable doesn’t have a POA to represent their interests and can’t express their personal preferences.
Any adult over 18 with the person’s interests at heart can make a guardianship application. Although trust companies can be appointed, usually a guardian is a loved one or friend who is trustworthy, has a close relationship with them and can manage finances responsibly. Courts or the OPGT hear from spouses, relatives or friends and the person can speak on their own behalf or have a lawyer do so. If you are unsure you are doing the right thing, you can ask for someone to be assessed, provided they don’t have a POA and don’t object. If you decide after the fact that you prefer not to be guardian, you can resign.
As guardian, you are expected to act in the person’s best interests and give them the best quality of life possible. It’s your legal obligation to:
