What Is a Guardianship Case in California?

In California, a guardianship case establishes a legal relationship where an individual, known as the guardian, is appointed by the court to make decisions for a minor or an incapacitated adult, referred to as the ward. For minors, guardianship may be necessary when parents are unable to care for their child due to illness, incarceration, substance abuse, or other circumstances. For adults, guardianship may be sought for those who can no longer manage their personal or financial affairs due to disability or incapacity. The court prioritizes the best interests of the ward, considering factors such as the proposed guardian’s ability to provide a safe and stable environment and their relationship with the ward. Our attorneys guide clients through the guardianship process, ensuring that your role as a potential guardian is clearly presented and your commitment to the ward’s well-being is recognized under California law.
