It is painful and worrying to watch a loved one lose the capacity to manage his or her own affairs due to advancing age or illness such as Alzheimer’s disease, or injury.

When you feel a loved one can no longer manage his or her finances, health care, or daily decisions, it might be time to seek a guardianship. A guardian is someone who is appointed by the court make decisions for another person, called the ward, due to the ward’s incapacity. As a guardian, you can help ensure that your loved one’s basic needs are met.

Seeking a guardianship is a major step, not to the taken lightly. Guardians act under close court supervision, and a guardianship can be obtained only after a court hearing.

Our attorneys work as a team with geriatric nurses and medical specialists to identify options that can be tailored to best meet your loved one’s needs with the least disruption to the family.
