Losing the capacity to make rational choices about our personal, financial, medical or other important, life-changing matters is a frightening notion.  One of the most common causes of loss of mental abilities is aging, however, appointing or choosing a guardian is not only for senior citizens affected by severe cognitive decline: unforeseen events such as an accident can result in mental or physical impairment as well, or special life circumstances can arise that create the need for guardianship.

Having a loved one who is no longer capable of thinking for themselves and managing their own life is an emotionally and mentally taxing situation for the whole family.  It is therefore crucial to ensure that in the unfortunate event of disability or incapacity there is a trustworthy guardian who has the legally recognized authority to make decisions on behalf of the incapacitated person and take care of their affairs with their best interest in mind and in accordance with their wishes.
