Who May Act As Guardian of a Disabled Person If a person is disabled a court appointed guardian is often needed, at least if no agents are named under durable powers of attorney. The guardian must be at least 18, a U. S. resident, of sound mind and not disabled and not a felon. The guardian can be a public agency or not-for-profit corporation found suitable by the court or, as guardian of the estate, a qualified trust company. A person, while not disabled, can designate a person to act as his or her guardian in a written instrument executed like a will. This is often done in a durable power of attorney for health care. || Back to List of Topics ||
