New Voluntary Guardian System in Taiwan States Guardians Do Not Need to be Blood Relatives
According to the existing guardian system, almost all guardians are children or relatives. The new system allows the elderly to choose their guardian when they are still sane. The candidates aren't limited to blood relatives and their rights and obligations are written in plain text, which may reduce family disputes and the burden of the society.
