What responsibilities does a guardian have in Texas?

June 20, 2025 – Kimberly Hegwood

A guardian’s responsibilities depend on the type of guardianship granted by the court. A guardian of the person supports the ward’s well-being, including living arrangements, healthcare decisions, and daily care. A guardian of the estate manages financial matters, such as paying bills, handling investments, and safeguarding assets.

Some guardians may take on both roles, referred to as full guardianship. Contact Your Legacy Legal Care® and schedule a strategy session to discuss your unique situation.
