There are a lot of people in current society that have developmental disorders or suffer from dementia, etc.This is a huge issue, especially if they are left alone with no authoritarian or guardian to support them. If their parents or guardians leave or pass away, they cannot really do much alone. That is why we need a legal adult guardianship system for those with intellectual disabilities.


Why do we need an adult guardianship system? As humans get older, their mental capabilities and judgmental abilities may decline, and those with developmental disorders from birth or from accidents might suffer the same consequence, only quicker and earlier. Even if these people become legal adults, they cannot live a normal social life alone, so an adult guardianship system is necessary in order to help those who communicate properly. By having helpers from this system, these adults with developmental disorders can live their lives more normally. This system can also solve problems in a family or even beyond individual issues, such as societal problems.


How can I become a guardian and what roles do I have? The guardian has to perform legal actions such as signing contracts regarding personal information, insurance, properties, etc. of the adult that has intellectual disabilities. And to become a guardian, you basically need to gain consent from the family, sign a couple of legal documents, gain confirmation from the court, and go through an interview process to determine whether or not you are a fraud or have the required characteristics to be a proper adult guardian.
