Legal authority to protect someone who can’t protect themselves
When a person can’t make safe decisions — a minor without an available parent, or an adult who has lost capacity — Colorado (C.R.S. § 15-14-101) lets a court appoint someone to decide for them. A guardian handles the person; a conservator handles the money.

Choose the least-restrictive path
