Guardianship
Caring Assistance
When estate planning or designated power of attorney is absent, guardianship may become necessary, appointing a caring and responsible individual—a guardian—to oversee the affairs of an incapacitated person, known as the ward. The process of establishing guardianship typically involves court proceedings, including a medical assessment and a hearing before the probate court.
Once appointed by the court, the guardian assumes authority over various aspects of the ward’s life, managing finances, making healthcare decisions, addressing residential matters, and overseeing social interactions. This role establishes a caregiver-like relationship akin to parent-child dynamics.
Guardianships are tailored to meet the ward’s specific needs, with the court adjusting the guardian’s powers accordingly. The guardian is mandated to provide annual reports to the court on the ward’s health and healthcare, as well as accounting for financial management.
Our approach to guardianship matters is characterized by diligence and sensitivity, prioritizing the welfare and best interests of those under guardianship. We provide compassionate and dedicated support throughout the guardianship process, assisting in navigating legal requirements, preparing necessary documentation, and advocating for the rights and care of individuals in need of guardianship. Whether establishing guardianship, managing financial affairs, or ensuring proper healthcare decisions, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of care and protection for those entrusted to our guardianship services. We collaborate closely with families and stakeholders to achieve optimal outcomes for individuals under guardianship.
