Introduction
Guardianship is a legal approach to managing the personal affairs of those who can no longer do so themselves. Guardianship is a matter of state law.
Although guardianship can be used for adults and for minors, this research guide focuses on adults -- particularly the elderly. For further information on child protection, see the research guide on Child Law.
