Can a guardian be held liable for the actions of the ward?

Guardians are only responsible for those duties/responsibilities granted to them by the court. As long as they are carrying out those duties and responsibilities in good faith, they should be protected from liability for the actions of their wards. However, if they are negligent in their duties, and as a result of that negligence, their ward causes injury to a third party, the guardian could be held liable.
