The professional guardian coordinates and monitors professional services needed by the incapacitated person, such as selecting a caretaker, in-home care, and other services.

Funds that belong to the person under guardianship remain the property of that person, and do not become property of the guardian.  All funds are accounted for and kept separate from the guardian’s personal funds.

The guardian of the Property acts on behalf of the incapacitated person only to the extent of the persons assets. For each person that a professional guardian serves, the guardian stands ready to give an accurate accounting of those funds to the court.

The professional guardian is an advocate and acts on behalf of the incapacitated person only to the extent of the court order.
