Making the
application
Certifications from two physicians, a verified complaint, and an order to show cause. A detailed application lessens the chance of a contested hearing.

Guardianship
When a loved one no longer has capacity and never signed a power of attorney, the law provides a tool. We handle each step, and in an emergency we can move quickly.
Overview
Not everyone has the foresight or the ability to sign a power of attorney or health care proxy. A guardianship appoints someone to ensure the protection and proper care of your loved one, acting as an agent would, with the court supervising throughout.

The guardianship process
Making the
Court-appointed
attorney & hearing
The court appoints an attorney for your loved one and sets a hearing. Most uncontested hearings are informal, and your loved one rarely needs to appear.
Serving as
guardian
Letters of guardianship, marshalling assets, and ongoing court filings. We keep you on top of every fiduciary obligation once appointed.
Not sure what you need?
A free consultation, up to 30 minutes, will tell you if a guardianship is the right tool.
