What is the difference between guardian of the estate and guardian of the person?

There are several differences between a guardian of the estate and guardian of the person. However, the primary difference is that the guardian of the estate is responsible for managing the financial affairs of a minor, whereas the guardian of the person is responsible for the health and well-being of the minor. The guardian of the person has also assumed parental rights for the minor child. This means that the minor child’s biological parents have released their parental rights to the court appointed guardian.
