Guardianship for Adults with Disabilities

When an adult is unable to manage their own affairs due to disability or cognitive decline, we help families obtain legal guardianship to protect their well-being and financial security.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is guardianship, and how does it work?

Guardianship is a legal process in which a court appoints an individual to make decisions on behalf of someone who is unable to manage their own affairs.

What's the difference between guardianship and power of attorney?

A power of attorney is granted voluntarily by a competent individual, while guardianship is court-appointed when someone is legally deemed incapable of making their own decisions.

Can I become a guardian for my aging parent?

Yes. If your parent is no longer able to manage their medical or financial affairs, you can petition the court for guardianship to ensure they receive proper care.
