Study after study has shown that when older adults and people with disabilities have more control over their life and make more decisions for themselves – when they have more self-determination – they have enhanced quality of life. However, guardianship and conservatorship, when overbroad or undue, can reduce or remove people’s self-determination, which research shows can decrease their quality of life.
