§30-1-103.
   
   A. It is the purpose of the Oklahoma Guardianship Act to promote the
   general welfare of all citizens by establishing a system of general
   and limited guardianships for minors and for incapacitated and
   partially incapacitated persons which provides for the protection of
   their rights and the management of their financial resources.
   
   B. It is the purpose of the system of general and limited
   guardianships for incapacitated and partially incapacitated persons
   established by this act to provide for the participation of such
   persons, as fully as possible, in the decisions which affect them. It
   is the intent of the Oklahoma State Legislature:
   
   1. That the court shall exercise the authority conferred by the
   Oklahoma Guardianship Act so as to encourage the development of
   maximum self-reliance and independence of the incapacitated or
   partially incapacitated person and make appointive and other orders
   only to the extent necessitated by the mental and adaptive limitations
   or other condition of the incapacitated or partially incapacitated
   person warranting the procedure;
   
   2. That in performing their duties and exercising their powers,
   guardians and limited guardians of incapacitated or partially
   incapacitated persons shall:
   
   a. assure, to the extent reasonably possible, that the rights of the
   wards for whom they are appointed are protected;
   
   b. encourage, to the extent reasonably possible, incapacitated or
   partially incapacitated persons to participate to the maximum extent
   of their abilities in all decisions which affect them and to act on
   their own behalf on all matters in which they are able to do so within
   the limitations imposed by the court; and
   
   c. as appropriate, assist their wards to develop or regain to the
   maximum extent possible their capacity to meet the essential
   requirements for their health or safety, or to manage their financial
   resources or both.
