Guardianship is a serious matter. When you ask the court for rule over another person, you are mostly taking on the challenge of overseeing their life. You are responsible for making financial, healthcare, and property management decisions for this individual. In the state of New York, you can only obtain guardianship if a person is incapacitated.

According to Article 81 of the New York Mental Hygiene Law, guardianship is used to help appoint a person to manage the affairs of an incapacitated individual. Either there must be reasonable proof that such an arrangement is necessary, or the person must agree to the court’s decision. When someone is intellectually or developmentally disabled, the guardian will act as a parent. If an individual is developmentally delayed, then Article 17A on Guardianship is used.
