Abstract
This Article has examined the potential for person-centered planning within the American system of guardianship. Guardians’ current exercise of authority is not person-centered because it gives little attention to the person of those relegated to its paternalistic protections. Person-centered planning, though, may be a solution to this problem. This Article explained how person-centered planning can be incorporated in guardianship and included three case studies using person-centered tools in assessing the wants and needs of clients being served. Finally, this Article examined the extent to which the UGPPA and some states have incorporated person-centered planning into guardianship.
