Abstract
Guardianships allow court-appointed guardians to make decisions on behalf of persons who are incapable of caring for themselves. With their authority frequently extending over both the personal and the financial affairs of a ward, guardians sometimes abuse their extensive powers. Misuse of funds, excessive fees, and neglect of the ward's needs all have been seen in guardianship cases. As awareness of this problem has grown, innovative approaches have been developed to prevent and detect abuses, including mandatory certification, centralized audits, and visits to persons under guardianship to assess their status. Funding such efforts, however, remains a challenge.
