While state laws vary regarding the requirements for a guardian to be appointed, Center for Guardianship Certification (CGC) certification sets a guardian apart from non-certified guardians as someone who has met nationally recognized requirements including a minimum level of knowledge and experience in guardianship services.

All CGC certified guardians:

• have sufficient skill, knowledge and understanding of universal guardianship principals
• are held to standards of practice
• meet nationally recognized requirements
• are the leaders in quality and trusted guardianship service
