Guardianship is a legal arrangement in which an individual or entity is appointed by a court to make decisions for another person, known as the ward, who is incapable of making decisions for themselves due to a disability, illness, or injury. The guardian is responsible for making decisions about the ward’s medical treatment, living arrangements, and finances, among other things.

In most cases, guardianship is established for minors, individuals with disabilities, or elderly individuals who can no longer make their own decisions. The process of establishing guardianship can be complex and time-consuming, involving court proceedings, medical evaluations, and legal documents.
At our law firm, we understand the challenges and complexities of guardianship proceedings, and we are committed to helping our clients navigate this process with compassion and expertise.

We understand that every family’s situation is unique, and we take the time to listen to our clients’ concerns and goals, working with them to develop a plan that meets their needs and the needs of their loved ones.

We can assist clients with all aspects of guardianship, including:

• Establishing guardianship: Our attorneys can guide clients through the legal process of establishing guardianship, including filing the necessary paperwork with the court, providing evidence of the need for guardianship, and representing clients in court hearings.
• Selecting a guardian: We can assist clients in selecting a guardian who is capable of providing the necessary care and support for their loved one, taking into account factors such as the guardian’s relationship with the ward, their ability to manage finances, and their availability.
• Managing the ward’s finances: In some cases, the guardian may be responsible for managing the ward’s finances, including paying bills, managing investments, and handling other financial matters. Our attorneys can help clients navigate this complex area of guardianship, providing guidance and support to ensure that the ward’s finances are managed appropriately.
• Addressing disputes: Guardianship arrangements can sometimes lead to disputes among family members or other interested parties. Our attorneys strive to resolve these matters in an amicable fashion. However, when necessary, our attorneys will take any legal action including filing suit in order to advocate for the best interest of the incapacitated person.
