The adult guardian system is divided into several kinds depending on the method of appointing the guardian and the scope of the guardian's authority, and each system differs in its characteristics and its advantages and disadvantages.
Adult guardianship is a method that restricts the ward's legal status or capacity to act and grants authority to the guardian.
However, because such restrictions can cause excessive disadvantage to the ward, the decision must be made carefully.
Limited guardianship can be chosen when guardianship is continuously needed due to a mental disability or a lack of ability to handle affairs.
However, because limited guardianship is not easy to terminate and the guardian is replaced by another guardian only when the guardian dies or resigns, you must consider the issue of terminating the guardianship.
Specific guardianship is a system in which the guardian acts only for a certain period, and when the period expires, the need for guardianship must be reassessed.
You should keep in mind that this system requires you to go through the procedure again if it is needed after the guardianship period ends.
Voluntary guardianship is a method of designating a guardian through a prior contract, but because a dispute may arise over the validity of the contract, you must consider this.
Therefore, when choosing the adult guardian system, it is important to choose it after fully considering matters such as the authority granted to the guardian and the difficulty of terminating the guardianship.
