A guardianship over an adult may be established in order to see that the adult (referred to as the "ward") is able to be safe and secure at all times. Adults who are incapable of caring for themselves due to physical incapacitation, mental illness, mental retardation, drug addiction or other reasons may require the intervention of a loved one or friend to ensure their well-being.

In cases where the guardianship is over an elderly adult, the case may be tied into aspects of estate planning, and elder law, such as health care and financial arrangements. I handle all types of estate planning issues, in addition guardianship matters.

Guardianship of Minors

In certain instances, the guardianship of a minor may need to be established. This can be the case when a parent or other current guardian cannot fully care for the child due to a variety of reasons. The best interests of the child are at the heart of the case and a guardian may need to be appointed to ensure that the well-being of the minor is preserved.

Attempting to Prevent a Guardianship

Elderly individuals are often the subject of a guardianship proceeding. They do not always wish to consent to the guardianship, as they may see it as giving up their rights. I understand this side of the subject and can represent an individual in a situation where the guardianship should be prevented from being granted.
