FAQ

  • When is guardianship necessary?

    Guardianship may be appropriate when an individual cannot make or manage certain personal, medical, or financial decisions and less restrictive alternatives are insufficient. Texas courts consider the individual's capacity, specific needs, and available alternatives before appointing a guardian. Guardianship should be tailored to preserve as much independence as reasonably possible.

  • What is the difference between guardianship of the person and the estate?

    A guardian of the person is responsible for court-authorized decisions involving the individual's care, residence, and personal well-being. A guardian of the estate manages financial matters and property under court supervision. Depending on the individual's needs, the court may appoint one person to serve in both roles or separate individuals.

  • What are my responsibilities as a guardian?

    A guardian must act within the authority granted by the court and fulfill applicable fiduciary and reporting obligations. Depending on the appointment, responsibilities may include arranging appropriate care, managing finances, protecting property, and submitting required reports or accountings. Texas courts supervise guardianships to protect the rights and interests of the individual.
