Guardianship Application guidance across the GTA

Guardianship Application matters across the GTA often benefit from earlier guidance when capacity assessment and court application guidance may affect the next practical step. A guardianship application is used where a person needs legal authority to manage the property or personal care of someone who is incapable of making those decisions independently. Depending on the circumstances, the application may relate to financial management, health care, living arrangements, or both. That matters in GTA because the file often has to be organized alongside other practical obligations that do not pause while the legal work moves forward.
