Guardianship laws perform a vital protective function for both minors and vulnerable persons by appointing a personally responsible adult as a guardian to be responsible for caring for and making decisions for minors and vulnerable adults.

For minors, guardianship laws ensure that the health, education, and welfare of a minor is provided for in the absence of a parent or a parent is unable to provide for their child. For vulnerable persons (such as persons with mental disabilities or physical disabilities), guardianship laws legally enable a guardian to be designated with authority over the person's personal, financial and medical affairs while also protecting the person from being neglected, abused or exploited.

These laws help ensure that the rights and dignity of the person are protected, while the appointed person is accountable to act in the best interest of the individual.

Guardianship laws play a crucial role in protecting minors and vulnerable persons by legally appointing a responsible individual or guardian to care for their personal, financial, and legal interests. These laws ensure that those who cannot make decisions for themselves receive proper care, protection, and representation, safeguarding their rights and well-being until they can manage on their own or a suitable alternative is found.
