Understanding Guardianship

Guardianship is a legal relationship where a court appoints an individual or entity (the guardian) to care for and make decisions on behalf of another person (the ward) who is unable to manage their own affairs. Guardianship can be necessary for various reasons, including the protection of minors, elderly adults, or individuals with disabilities. Our goal is to ensure that the ward’s needs are met and that their rights are protected.
