| Abstrakt: | This paper examines the current state of the art in legal guardianship for older persons in the South. The questions guiding this research included: (1) When is guardianship needed?, (2) Who is designated as guardian? and (3) How are the older person's rights guaranteed? The results show considerable variation in policy among the states. Thile there are some strengths in legislation for guardianship, there are also a number of weaknesses. Chief among these is the failure of states to provide for the guardianship of person in addition to the guardianship of property. |
