Guardianship
The need for a guardianship most often arises for families with minor aged children as well as for families with parents of advanced age.
Senior Care
They have cared for us with kindness and understanding. Yet, sometimes this loved one is no longer capable of caring for themselves. In cases like this, guardianships can be established to shield our loved ones and ensure quality care for their personal and medical needs. Typically, the need for guardianship arises as symptoms of dementia or Alzheimer’s become more severe and a loved one needs assistance on a regular basis.
Minor Children
Often, parents of minor aged children seek guardianship to protect their children if a time comes when the parents are unable to care for the children.
Acting as a guardian for a family member is one of the most caring and compassionate responsibilities a person can undertake. It is important for the health and well-being of the person who needs care.
Courts do not easily remove the legal agency of adults. So, for a person to be appointed a guardian, one must be able to prove, with medical evidence, that there is a need for the guardianship and that the proposed guardian is suitable to serve. There must also be no less-restrictive legal alternatives to help the ward outside of establishing a guardianship.
