Guardianship can arise in a number of situations, though typically it can become relevant where either the very young do not have natural parents able to or available to look after them or the elderly are unable to effectively take care of themselves. A relative or indeed the Court may bring an application for a guardianship to be awarded, who then becomes responsible for the welfare of the ward.
