Guardianship is a legal process that allows a court to appoint someone to make personal or financial decisions for another person who is unable to do so on their own. Family Court oversees guardianships of minors in New York and evaluates the individual’s needs, the scope of authority required, and whether a guardianship is the least restrictive way to provide support. Responsibilities can include managing finances, making health care decisions, or ensuring day-to-day well-being.
