Many people will never need to appoint an Enduring Guardian. This is because they either have a cohesive and formal family structure and the medical people dealing with them see no problem in dealing with the family. However we live in a world where family breakdowns are more common and medical people are more nervous of being sued. The formal appointment of an Enduring Guardian will go a long way to ease potential conflicts.
