A guardian is a person appointed by a court to manage the affairs of a person who is incapacitated.

A guardian may be appointed to manage the financial affairs of a person at significant risk of harm because of a 'demonstrated inability to adequately manage property or financial affairs. ' A guardian may be appointed to make health care and other non-financial decisions for a person at significant risk of harm because of a 'demonstrated inability to adequately provide for nutrition, health, housing or physical safety.' (The quoted language is from the Washington State law, Revised Code of Washington 11.88.010)
