It probably seems kind of ridiculous that in Arizona, as the parent(s) of a special needs adult child, you need to be named the court-ordered guardian(s) in order to continue acting as your child’s parent(s).All adults have privacy rights. Your special needs adult child has those rights as well. This is why, in Arizona, you need a court-ordered guardianship. You are “taking away” your child’s privacy rights (in order to care for his/her special needs).The guardianship system is designed to support your desire to serve as guardian. As long as you are a decent human being, who has your child’s best interest at heart, you will be set.
