According to the website of the Guardianship and Administration Board, it 'can make decisions for the benefit of persons who have a disability and are unable to make reasonable judgements about lifestyle and financial matters'.
The website also states that the Board's vision is:
'To respect the rights of people with disabilities to make their own decisions wherever possible, and when it is not possible, to ensure that processes that we employ are accessible, impartial, expeditious, highly competent and result in just decisions by the Board. '
