A guardian takes care of someone who cannot take care of themselves. The person being cared for is called the ward. Wards might be kids, adults with disabilities, or old people who can&#8217;t make their own decisions.<\/p><p>The job of a guardian includes health choices, teaching needs, having control over money matters for the ward. Whatever choice the guardian makes is all about what&#8217;s best for the ward.<\/p><p>The law watches over how well guardians do their jobs and might ask them to put down details about any changes with in money or other serious problems with the ward from time to time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6fe3249 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6fe3249\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Boards and Shareholders<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-53076f5 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"53076f5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In a company, the board of directors and shareholders share a fiduciary link.
