Which guardian is responsible for living arrangements?

The guardian responsible for living arrangements is the guardian of the person. This guardian's primary role is to make decisions about the personal welfare and living situation of the individual they are appointed to protect, which includes where that person resides, their day-to-day care, and overall well-being. This role often involves ensuring that the individual's needs are met in a safe and supportive environment, thus directly influencing their living arrangements.

In contrast, other roles such as the guardian of the estate focus primarily on managing the financial aspects and assets of the individual, rather than personal care or living conditions. Legal representatives may handle various legal matters, but they typically do not have authority over living arrangements. A conservator generally looks after the financial assets or affairs of someone who is unable to manage them due to incapacity, similar to the guardian of the estate but with specific legal powers. Therefore, the guardian of the person is the one who directly oversees and is accountable for the living arrangements of an individual under guardianship.
