What are the legal responsibilities of a guardian in Texas?

In Texas, the Law Office of Dana Baker is well-versed in the various guardianship arrangements available, which include:

• Guardian of the Person (Full or Limited): This guardian is tasked with the well-being of the ward, ensuring they receive proper care, supervision, nutrition, clothing, medical attention, and housing.
• Guardian of the Estate (Full or Limited): This role involves overseeing and handling the ward’s financial and property matters, ensuring their assets are well-managed.
• Guardian of Both Person and Estate: In some cases, a guardian may be appointed to manage both the personal well-being and the estate of the ward, ensuring comprehensive care and financial oversight.
• Temporary/Emergency Guardianship: This is a provisional arrangement, put in place until the court can make a final determination.

It’s important to note that while Texas law typically allows for the appointment of a single individual as guardian of either the person or the estate, it is possible for one person to be appointed as guardian of the person and another as guardian of the estate, should it serve the best interests of the ward.
