Plenary Guardian
A guardian with the authority to deal with all matters relating to the ward's person or estate.

Although plenary guardians have very broad powers, Pennsylvania still imposes certain restrictions upon them. For instance, the guardian of an incapacitated person may not admit the ward under his or her care to an inpatient psychiatric facility or relinquish the ward's parental rights.
