Guardianship Services
Guardianship is necessary when a person can no longer make sound decisions regarding themselves, their property or has become susceptible to undue influence and fraud.
When an adult individual can no longer make sound decisions for their physical and personal needs, or if the individual is a minor, a guardian of the person may be established so the person appointed as Guardian may make these decisions on behalf of the incapacitated person’s best interest. When an adult individual can no longer make sound decisions regarding their assets, or the individual is a minor, a guardian of the estate may be established. When an adult individual or minor can no longer make sound decisions to care for themselves nor make sound decisions to care for their assets, a guardian of the person and the estate may be established. In such cases not only is the guardian is legally responsible for the health, safety, and management of the incapacitated person, but they are responsible for that person’s assets as well.
