What is a Temporary Guardian?

Tamara I. Jordan, Esq.



A temporary guardian is an individual appointed by the court to take care of the personal needs or manage the property of an alleged incapacitated person for a limited period. The appointment is typically made when there is a foreseeable danger to the health and well-being of the person or a risk of waste, misappropriation, or loss of their property.


The court's order appointing a temporary guardian will specifically list the powers and duties of the temporary guardian, which are limited in the same manner as those of a permanent guardian. The temporary guardianship is intended to last only until a permanent guardian is appointed or the court issues a final order.
