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:
A guardian of your person can make legal decisions concerning your medical care and safety if you are incapacitated.
Guardian of Your Estate
A guardian of your estate can make legal decisions for you, if you’re incapacitated, concerning your finances, property, and any other source of wealth.
