A guardianship proceeding allows a person the legal authority to care for another. A conservatorship proceeding concerns the legal authority to manage another’s financial affairs. These Guardianship and Conservatorship matters, which are often joint proceedings, can be for an incapacitated person or for a minor. There are numerous reasons families find it necessary to file for a guardianship and/or conservatorship. We have experience in protected persons matters involving mental health diagnoses, drug and/or alcohol addiction, traumatic brain injury, delayed development, severely injured minors, and all types of Alzheimer’s and dementia matters.
