A guardianship is a legal relationship created to protect an incapacitated person who cannot make decisions on their own. Their inability to make decisions can be due to developmental disabilities, intellectual disabilities, mental illness, or disability due to age. When an incapacity prevents a person from making decisions in their own best interest, a guardian is appointed by the court to make these decisions on their behalf.
