2. The guardian of the estate which involves making financial, investment and property decisions. For information on certification go to http://guardianship.org/

Guardians are sometimes referred to as a licensed legal fiduciary or conservatory depending on the state in which you live.  Guardianship laws vary from state to state but many states do not require certification. Check with your state’s guardianship association by entering your state and guardianship association into a Google search.
