Who Needs a Guardianship or Conservatorship?
There are many potential reasons to create a guardianship or conservatorship. At the Law Office of Stacey L. Janssen, we frequently help families with unique circumstances that require this court-appointed relationship, such as: • Parents of adult children with special needs • Families with a loved one who becomes mentally disabled • Families of individuals with terminal illness • Families of elderly who become incapacitated • Families of minor children whose parents have suddenly died Proactive planning is often the preferred method for individuals to appoint loved ones to manage future decisions. However, when a loved one becomes incompetent before healthcare powers of attorney or financial powers of attorney are created, the family must comply with the court process to create guardianships and conservatorships. For caring and experienced guidance, please contact Stacey to set up an appointment.
