 Making the decision to establish guardianship of an elderly, ill, or disabled parent or spouse can be painful and stressful. Our goal  is to do everything we can to make the legal process of establishing guardianship as easy and smooth as possible for you.

Guardianship of a Minor

 When determining whether to represent yourself in a minor guardianship action, you must first determine whether your case will be contested or uncontested by the child's biological parents, if they are alive.  The most common type of minor guardianship occurs usually by a child's grandparents when the child's biological parents are unable to carry  out  their parental responsibilities.  If both biological parents object to  the  guardianship then you may need to proceed with an attorney.

What is Guardianship?

A guardian is someone who is appointed by a court to protect and care for the health and well-being of an incapacitated person, or a minor child. A petition must be filed with the appropriate court, and notice given to all interested persons. The process may be complicated, so you are advised to consult with an attorney.
