Understanding What A Guardianship Can Do
A legal guardianship can provide a safety net for someone who needs protection. We are experienced advocates for the incapacitated and individuals with special needs. Our guardianship lawyers offer tailored legal services for a wide range of issues, including:
- Handling guardianships related to mental illness and mental health
- Protecting individuals with physical or mental disabilities
- Creating plans for families dealing with dementia
- Managing emergency, temporary or involuntary guardianships
- Contesting guardianships
- Guiding guardian advocacy for people with developmental disabilities
The court oversees all guardianships, so it is important for you to fully understand your responsibilities. Speaking with an attorney can clarify the process and help you move forward confidently.
Guardianship For Minors And Adults With Special Needs
At Heuler, Wakeman, Solomon Law Group, P.L.L.C., we have extensive experience with guardianship for both minors and adults. We can help if you need to establish guardianship for an 18-year-old with special needs. Likewise, we can assist with guardianship for a minor who has inherited property or received assets from a settlement.
Restoring A Person’s Rights
In addition to helping people obtain a guardianship, we can also assist with cases of restoring a person’s rights. We believe in finding the least restrictive alternatives to a full guardianship. This allows the individual to manage as much of their life as possible while still receiving the care and protection they need.
