Who may a guardian notify when disposing of a person’s assets?

A guardian has the responsibility to act in the best interests of the individuals under their care, including handling their financial affairs. When it comes to disposing of a person's assets, proper notification is crucial to ensure transparency and uphold ethical standards.

Notifying friends and family is correct because they are typically the close network of an individual and might offer important insights or emotional support. Friends and family often have a vested interest in the well-being of the person whose assets are being managed, and their input can provide a broader context about the individual’s wishes and any potential implications of the asset disposal. This connection can help prevent disputes or misunderstandings within the family or social circle.

The other groups mentioned, such as neighbors, co-workers, acquaintances, cousins, or mentors, do not generally hold the same level of personal investment or relevant insight into the individual's intentions and preferences regarding asset management. Therefore, while these individuals might be informed in some contexts, the priority typically lies with friends and family in circumstances involving guardianship and asset disposal.
