When an adult close to you has difficulty making decisions, you might want to consider if a guardian is required as a safeguard.
Guardianship is a legal way to appoint a person (a ‘guardian’) to act in certain personal or financial matters for an adult who has impaired decision-making capacity and needs someone to help them with decisions.
