Guardianships

Guardianships and Conservatorships are judicially established relationships between an incapacitated person and a fiduciary that is empowered and obligated to look after the incapacitated person’s well-being.  Generally, guardians and conservators have control over the disabled individual’s decision-making ability and finances.  The creation of a guardianship or conservatorship may be necessary for an elderly or incapacitated family member or a child with special needs.

Dealing with these situations can be incredibly stressful, and the legal complexities, accounting obligations and fiduciary requirements can often add to the frustration.  Whether you are already a qualified conservator or guardian or are concerned about a loved one’s ability to care for themselves or are looking for planning techniques to avoid a conservator or guardian situation, the attorneys at McCandlish Lillard have the necessary skills and experience to help with your situation.
