Your prompt
My [Your Relationship To Them] [Initials] is [Their Age] ([Their Diagnosis]), and people keep telling me to 'get guardianship.' I've heard there are alternatives that preserve more of [Initials]'s rights, and I want to research before deciding anything. What [Initials] handles independently: [Independent Skills]. Where support is truly needed: [Where Support Is Needed]. Help me — plain-language education and questions only; this is not legal advice, and any decision happens with an attorney AND with [Initials]: 1) explain the range in plain words, from least to most restrictive: informal supports, supported decision-making, power of attorney, representative payee, limited guardianship, full guardianship, 2) given OUR facts, list which options deserve serious research and what questions each one raises for us, 3) build my question list — one set for an attorney, one for our state's disability agency or advocacy organization, 4) give me questions to explore WITH [Initials] — their voice belongs in this decision at whatever level they can participate, 5) list the red flags that a professional is pushing one-size-fits-all guardianship without exploring less restrictive options first.

Initials, not names.
Never paste full names, birthdates, ID numbers, account numbers, or addresses into an AI. Initials and ages work just as well.
It can be confidently wrong.
AI is a brilliant first draft and a terrible last word. Anything about medications, doses, benefits, or legal rights gets checked with a human professional before you act on it.
It's a helper, not a clinician.
None of this is medical, legal, or financial advice, and it is not therapy or an emergency service. If anyone is in danger, call 911, or 988 in the US for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
