A guardianship or conservatorship may be necessary for the protection of a family member who is unable to care for him or herself, because of age related illnesses, developmental disabilities, or other reasons, or, for a child who receives an inheritance.
We understand the sensitive, complex nature of these matters and are committed to helping clients address these challenges. We counsel clients on every stage of the guardianship/conservatorship, including analyzing the legal grounds for filing the court proceeding; drafting the necessary pleadings; preparing the required annual reporting and accounting; and assisting you in navigating the legal issues that frequently arise, such as moving the protected person to another home, selling his or her residence, locating assets and dealing with income tax obligations.
