Ohio law also provides personal immunity for a person while he is acting as guardian, as long as he does not act negligently or outside the scope of his authority as guardian. To have protection under this section of the law, it is only necessary that the person make it clear that he is acting in his official capacity as guardian. (See O.R.C. 2111.151.) For example, he should sign all documents with his name, and write "as guardian" immediately after his name. As a result of this provision, a person should not have to worry about exposing his personal assets when he considers becoming a guardian.
