Guardianship Litigation

Situations arise, due to age, illness or injury where a person is no longer capable of making important decisions on their own. In such circumstances, the best solution may be the appointment of a guardian to assist in managing his or her affairs. If it is necessary to have a guardian appointed, an individual or entity is named by court order to exercise those powers and rights necessary to assist the afflicted person. A full or limited guardianship may be the appropriate protection for minors, persons with mental illness, developmentally challenged persons, or others the court determines, after a hearing, are incapable of making important decisions for themselves.
