In this Act: The term guardianship means a legal relationship established by a court when a person is determined to lack the ability to meet essential requirements for physical health, safety, or self-care because the person is unable to receive and evaluate information or make or communicate decisions about their person or property, even with appropriate supportive services, technological assistance, supported decision making, or other less restrictive alternatives. The term individuals subject to guardianship means any individual 18 years or older placed under a guardianship. The term Secretary means the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
