Guardianship/Conservatorship

Guardianship Conservatorship

Some clients reach out to us when a family member or spouse becomes physically or mentally disabled and unable to manage their own affairs.  A guardianship and/or conservatorship can help transfer control of financial and/or medical decisions to a responsible individual. Our firm is experienced in representation involving protected persons and can assist clients in taking the correct measures to protect the rights of an incapacitated person.

Our firm also has expertise working with clients seeking to protect the personal, financial, and medical well-being of a loved one.  We understand that appointment of a guardian and/or conservator is a difficult process involving significant emotional concerns. However, if you are worried about someone who is unable to make sound financial and medical decisions, we can assist with taking all measures to protect their interests such as: (i) Certifying incapacity from a medical professional; (ii) Assistance with determination of the proper requirements and qualifications of a potential guardian and/or conservator; and (iii) defining the scope of the conservatorship and/or guardianship.
