You might find yourself needing to take guardianship of a friend or a loved one. A common scenario is applying for guardianship to raise children who are not your own, but there are also situations where you might need to take guardianship of a parent, sibling, or relative who is no longer capable of making decisions for themselves. With the increasing age of our population, elder law issues are a growing area of our law practice. Our attorneys can compassionately guide our clients through the commencement of guardianship and conservatorship proceedings.
