At our firm, guardianships are one of the core areas where we dedicate our legal acumen to serving the best interests of children and vulnerable adults, including the elderly and those with disabilities.
What a Guardianship Is
A legal framework known as guardianship is established to safeguard individuals who, because of their young age, a condition limiting their abilities, or a disability, are not in a position to look after their own well-being.
A guardian is appointed to make decisions on behalf of the individual, ensuring their well-being and financial interests are safeguarded. The need for a guardian arises in circumstances where individuals are unable to make informed decisions about their care or finances.
