Question:
Can a guardian live in a different state from the protected person?
Response:
Yes. I’m not aware of any state that requires that the guardian live in the same state as the incapacitated person, called a “ward” or “protected person” in guardianship laws. That said, proximity to the protected person could be an important factor in a court deciding between two candidates to serve as guardian.
