Guardianships and Conservatorships
Overview
Dealing with a family member who cannot care for him or herself can be one of the most challenging ordeals that a person can face. Coordinating medical treatment and housing options for one who is unable to make appropriate life choices can be emotional. Managing finances for one who cannot manage his or her own assets can be challenging. Often, these issues are further complicated by family dynamics. We can help. We assist clients in appointing the conservator or guardian who is best suited to handle these issues for minors and incompetent adults. We also assist clients in the ongoing management of the conservatorship or guardianship estate, the required court reports and proceedings, and other administration requirements of the conservatorship or guardianship. And, if the appointment of the guardian or conservator is contested or if questions arise about the administration of the guardianship or conservatorship, our litigation team brings the necessary expertise, sensibility, and sensitivity to humanely and discretely resolve the dispute.
