Guardianship Attorney

In these instances, the courts may appoint a guardian, typically a family member or loved one, to manage the legal and financial affairs of the incapacitated individual. Legal guardians often manage important personal needs such as nursing home placement or hiring aides and financial needs to address outstanding issues, such as Medicaid applications, estate planning, and health care decisions.  The firm routinely represents family members in contested Guardianship litigation as well as routine Guardianship appointments throughout the city.
