Select a Legal Guardian to Act on Your Behalf
A Declaration of Guardian is a legal document where you list a person or people you trust to act as your agent/guardian if you are unable to make decisions on your own.
Within the Declaration of Guardian document, there are two areas where you will list a guardian:
