Understanding Enduring Guardianship
Enduring guardianship becomes active when the principal is deemed incapable of making informed decisions, often due to reasons like mental illness, disability, or advanced age. This legal arrangement is especially significant in managing healthcare and personal welfare decisions, ensuring that your preferences are honoured even if you're unable to communicate them.
Roles and Responsibilities of an Enduring Guardian
An enduring guardian is entrusted with significant responsibilities, detailed in the legal documentation, such as:
- Making decisions about medical treatments.
- Deciding on living arrangements.
- Handling day-to-day activity-related choices.
The scope of these powers can vary depending on local laws and regulations, making it essential to create a guardianship arrangement that is legally compliant and reflective of the principal’s wishes.
