Substituted judgment: medical and financial decisions by guardians

Article Abstract:

Guardians and conservators can make decisions on health care and money for their incapacitated wards or conservatees under the substituted judgment doctrine. However, laws change from state to state, with applicability based on varying and diverse standards of "best interest" or "intent." In some situations, the doctrine may permit conservators to transfer assets or make estate and tax planning decisions, although a number of state courts have limited this ability. A survey of state legislation based on the doctrine is included.
