When will the courts make such an order?

Back to Top

The court will make a guardianship order when it has been satisfied by the evidence that the person (such as your father) named as needing a guardian is an adult who has been repeatedly or continuously unable to care for him/herself and to make reasonable judgments about matters relating to his person. The court will only make the order if it will be in the best interests of the dependent adult and will result in substantial benefit to that person.
