How does the temporary guardianship process work for adults?
Guardianship in Texas
For many, when they hear the term guardianship, they think of the legal status pertaining to those who want to function as parents to a child. While that may be the case in some instances, when referring to guardianships in the legal sense, we are referring to the area of law that covers those who are taking care of others who are unable to care for themselves. A guardian is someone who, through a court decision, is legally responsible for caring for an incapacitated person (called a Ward in legal proceedings).
