Types of Minnesota Order Appointing Guardian or Conservator include: * Emergency Guardian — appointed when an individual needs immediate protection due to a mental or physical disability * Temporary Guardian — appointed when a guardian is needed for a short period of time * Permanent Guardian — appointed when the individual requires a guardian on a long-term basis * Limited Guardian — appointed for a specific purpose * Co-Guardians — appointed when two or more people are assigned to share guardianship duties * Conservator — appointed for an individual unable to handle their own financial matters.
