Guiding Clients Through Guardianship and Conservatorship
When a family realizes that an elderly or incapacitated relative can no longer live safely and  independently, it's important that they take action to protect the individual. This can be achieved by
petitioning a court for a guardianship. Having handled a variety of estate planning and elder law issues for
twenty years, we are dedicated to helping families and individuals take care of
those family members who can no longer effectively care for themselves.
Many clients that come to us are the son, daughter, sibling, niece,
nephew, or other relative of the individual who is in need of protection. We work closely with family members to ensure that the proper information
is gathered to thoroughly prepare the detailed paperwork required by the court. In addition to helping families that are caring for elderly
individuals, we also help parents of disabled children who are about to reach their age of majority. Once a child turns 18, parents
may have a difficult time obtaining necessary medical information due to increasingly strict HIPAA laws. By establishing a guardianship,
parents can retain the control they need over disabled children and can continue to actively participate in their medical care, day-to-day
care, and other decision-making.
Though we handle contested guardianships where family members are uncertain regarding who will
provide care for the individual, our goal is to reach a solution that is amicable and ensures the individual's best interest. We help
families understand what needs to be done in order to get mom, dad, or other elderly family member the care he or she
needs.
Conservatorship
While a guardianship involves the physical care of an incapacitated person, a
conservatorship protects that person's financial assets. Typically, a guardianship and conservatorship can be created at the same time. When you
speak with one of our lawyers, we can assess your situation and we can explain your options for obtaining a conservatorship.
Contact us and let us help you navigate through the guardianship and conservatorship process.
