What happens if an individual needs a guardian, but there is no family member or friend who is willing to or capable of acting as the guardian?
ANSWER Private guardians or guardianship agencies may be available for persons who can pay for their services. In some states or localities, public guardianship programs exist to serve low-income incapacitated persons. In jurisdictions without a public guardianship program, a government agency or official may serve as the guardian of last resort for poor persons.
