Guardianship

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Legal, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Guardianship
Legal responsibility by a non-parent for a minor child or mentally incompetent person. Guardianship may be designated by a parent, perhaps in a will, or a guardian may be appointed by a court. More than one guardian may be designated for a single person, each with his/her own areas of responsibility. For example, a child may live with one guardian while another is responsible for administering assets left to the child in his/her parent's estate.
