The difference between a guardianship and power of attorney is that for a guardianship the court appoints a guardian when someone is no longer capable of making his or her own decisions. However, a power of attorney is typically appointed by the person themselves. This difference is crucial because there have been many cases where a guardian has wrongly taken advantage of their subject.
