Functional Evaluation of the Elderly in Guardianship Proceedings

Author:

Abstract

Guardianship has traditionally been presented by courts and in the literature as a benevolent mechanism through which those who cannot protect themselves will be assisted through surrogate management of their assets, their persons, or both. While notice has been taken of the significant deprivation of property and liberty inherent in a total guardianship, authorities recognize the sad necessity of imposing plenary external control over some of us when sufficient need is shown. The power to do so is grounded in the state's police power and the traditional role of the state as parens patriae.
