The Act consolidates and amends the law relating to guardians, distinguishing between guardianship of the person and guardianship of property, and empowers courts to appoint or declare guardians whenever doing so serves the welfare of the minor — the single overriding principle that governs every custody decision under this law. Given how frequently this Act comes up in family court proceedings, having quick, reliable access to its exact statutory language is essential for anyone involved in a guardianship matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features \u0026amp;
