What is a Guardian and purpose


I did not understand why she had a Guardian, and what exactly a Guardian was in Sweden. Since she is not a minor the Guardian is not a parent or custodian, as would be in the US. And since she was on State support, the Guardian is not a trustee from an inheritance.

Could someone explain this role and how she became to require a Guardian?

In the book Lisbeth was arrested for attempted murder, placed in a hospital then in a guardianship program after she was released. The Swedish films show the same. Her first guardian allowed her nearly complete freedom, her second was very controlling for a while.

Here is what a Guardian is in the USA. It seems to be something similar to what happened to Lisbeth in Sweden. Take a look at what happened with Britney Spears as far as this stuff goes.
