The Fundamentals of Guardianship: What Every Guardian Should Know

Serving as guardian is never simple or easy. Having the responsibility to make major life decisions for another is much more difficult than making decisions for oneself. This book thoroughly explains the roles and responsibilities of a guardian and provides a step-by-step guide through the process of how to make responsible and ethical decisions, prudently manage another person's resources, avoid conflicts of interest, and involve the person under guardianship in the decision process. The book is written by guardians with decades of experience and members of the National Guardianship Association. This book will appeal to anyone appointed as guardian or conservator i.e., lawyer, family member, friend, volunteer, or public or private entity, as well as all those who serve vulnerable adults.
