Whats the difference between a Family Guardian, a Guardian Service Provider, and a Public Guardian?
A private guardian is generally a family member or close friend who is appointed by the court. A professional guardian is an individual, agency or organization that provides guardianship/conservatorship services to individuals and receives compensation other than reimbursement for out of pocket expenses. A public guardian is one employed by the state to act as guardian/conservator. Public guardians are employed by the Office of Public Advocacy and are used as last resort when no private person or non-profit organization is available or willing to act in this capacity.
