How does the prisoner's guardian understand it? Is the Guardian his lawyer?

Guardian refers to the person who is legally responsible for protecting the personal and property safety of the ward and has the obligation to raise and educate the ward. Therefore, the guardian is not a lawyer. These are two completely different concepts.

There are only two types of people who need to be monitored. Only these two people have guardians. These two types of people are: minors and mental patients.

So, who can be the guardian of minors and mental patients? This is clearly stipulated in China's General Principles of Civil Law, specifically:

1, guardianship of minors

Article 16 Guardians of minors Parents of minors are guardians of minors.

If a minor's parents are dead or have no guardians, the following persons with the qualifications of guardians shall serve as guardians:

(1) grandparents, grandparents;

(2) brothers and sisters;

(three) other close relatives and friends are willing to assume the responsibility of guardianship, with the consent of the unit where the minor's parents work or the residents' committee or villagers' committee of the minor's domicile.

If there is any dispute about being a guardian, it shall be designated by the unit where the minor's parents belong or the residents' committee or villagers' committee where the minor's near relatives live. If a lawsuit is filed against the designation, it shall be ruled by the people's court.

If there is no guardian as stipulated in the first and second paragraphs, the guardian shall be the unit where the minor's parents belong or the residents' committee, villagers' committee or civil affairs department of the minor's domicile.

2. nursing care of mental patient

Article 17 Guardians of mental patients For mental patients with no or limited capacity for civil conduct, the following persons shall serve as guardians:

(1) spouse;

(2) parents;

(3) adult children;

(4) Other close relatives;

(five) other close relatives and friends are willing to assume the responsibility of guardianship, with the consent of the unit where the mental patient works or the residents' committee or villagers' committee of the place of residence.

If there is any dispute about being a guardian, it shall be designated by the residents' committee or villagers' committee of the unit where the mental patient belongs or the place where his near relatives live. If a lawsuit is filed against the designation, it shall be ruled by the people's court.

If there is no guardian as stipulated in the first paragraph, the unit to which the mentally ill person belongs or the residents' committee, villagers' committee or civil affairs department of his domicile shall act as the guardian.
