What powers does a guardian have?
The answer depends on the Probate Judge who appointed the guardianship. The Probate Judge usually designates specific powers to the guardian in regard to the ward. Aside from the specific powers, guardians must promote and protect the best interests of the ward, and ensure that the ward receives the benefits and services that the ward is entitled to. Common benefits and services include education for wards of school age, residential services for wards who lack adequate housing, nutritional services, medical and dental services, and therapeutic and habilitative services, such as adult education and vocational rehabilitation. |
