As guardianship lawyer we assist people with special needs, or those that care for them, to have a fully functional life in society. Our goal is to allow all people involved in a special needs situation to maximize their opportunities to live an active and quality self-determinative lifestyle while providing safeguards to protect those with infirmities that prevent them from taking care of themselves or their assets in whole or in part.
 
 

Legal Guardianship Attorney

 
In some situations, if performed timely, basic special needs planning, utilizing advanced directives with a basic will and/or trust, can accomplish short and long term goals in a relatively quick and cost effective manner. In more complex situations, court involvement and the filing of a guardianship proceeding may be required. A court appointed guardian is granted the authority to manage the affairs of an individual who has become incapacitated by injury, illness or age for the purpose of making personal, legal, and/or financial decisions for the incapacitated.
