There seems to be a presumption that Guardianship means Wardship and/or
Custody, when in a majority of cases, it is neither. Usually, a guardian
is appointed to protect the property interests of another person until
that person is legally competent to administer them himself. I have a
case where a father was appointed guardian for his own children because
they had inherited property from their deceased mother's parents before
they were of legal age to administer the property themselves. There can
be no standard sentence for guardianship, because each case has its own
peculiar circumstances.
