What Is Guardianship?

In Missouri, a guardian is someone who is legally responsible for the care, property, and/or financial affairs of another person.

There are two kinds of guardianships:

• Limited guardianship
• General guardianship

A limited guardianship is a court order that limits the powers of a person and only involves specific tasks. A general guardianship gives the guardian full power to make decisions regarding the incapacitated person's care.

How Do I Get a Guardianship?

There are several ways to become a guardian. Some of the most common ways include:

• Appointed by the court
• By the incapacitated person
• By the incapacitated person's relative or spouse

If you are a relative of the incapacitated person, the court will take your relationship into consideration when deciding who will be the guardian. If you are married to the incapacitated person, you are likely to be appointed as the guardian.
