2005 Vermont Code - § 3070. — Powers of a limited guardian

§ 3070. Powers of a limited guardian

(a) If the court enters judgment pursuant to section 3068(f) of this title, it may appoint a limited guardian if it determines that the respondent is unable to manage some, but not all, aspects of his personal care and financial affairs. The court shall specify those powers enumerated in section 3069 of this title which the limited guardian shall have and may further restrict each power so as to permit the ward to care for himself and his property commensurate with his ability to do so.

(b) A person for whom a limited guardian has been appointed retains all legal and civil rights except those which have been specifically granted to the limited guardian by the court.

(c) The limited guardian shall exercise his supervisory powers over the ward in a manner which is least restrictive of the ward's personal freedom consistent with the order of the court. (Added 1979, No. 76, § 15.)
