Guardianship

Guardianship Attorney

We represent Guardians and wards through the court process called Guardianship. A Guardianship is necessary to deal with the person or property of an individual who is declared incapacitated by a court such as a minor or a person who cannot make his or her own decisions.

A Guardian has very serious responsibilities which are closely monitored by a court. We represent Guardians in carrying out their fiduciary duties and caring for the ward. We assist in the decision-making process in terms of health care actions on the ward’s behalf or handling the ward’s property.

Further, we assist in reporting the Guardian’s actions to the court and obtaining court approval for all actions, as needed.
