A proper Guardian is a person or trustee organisation capable of providing accounting and accountability for their actions, given such a solemn position of trust. Thankfully, many jurisdictions demand the highest standards from those appointed to be a Guardian. Unfortunately, some do not.

When finally making a decision to protect your interests and intentions through the proper appointment of a Guardian, always keep in mind the balance between the question of familiarity and trust and the actual capacity of the person or trustee organisation to fulfil their obligations.
