If you have a loved-one who lacks the mental capacity to care for himself/herself, you may need to petition the court to have someone appointed as his/her legal guardian and/or conservator.  A court-appointed guardian has the authority and responsibility to make decisions pertaining to health care, living arrangements, and other essentials needs to ensure personal safety and to optimize quality of life.  A court-appointed conservator takes control of and responsibility for the incapacitated person’s finances to ensure the money is protected, accounted for, and is used for the incapacitated person’s needs.

Our experienced attorneys can represent you to petition the Court to have a guardian and/or conservator appointed for an incapacitated loved-one.  Our attorneys can also help you to prepare the guardianship and conservatorship reports that court-appointed guardians and conservators are required to file with the Court by defined deadlines.
