Guardianships

There are occasions when someone is unable to care for themselves. This could either be a minor or an adult who can no longer make safe and sound decisions regarding their person or property. On these occasions, it is best for the person to have a guardian. A guardianship is a legal arrangement that places an individual under the supervision of a guardian. This guardian is typically a family member or friend who is appointed by the court.

A guardianship of a person may relegate the following responsibilities to an appointed guardian:

  • Determining and maintaining residence
  • Providing informed consent to and supervising medical treatment
  • Making end-of-life decisions
  • Consenting to and supervising educational decisions
  • Paying debts and other expenses
  • Maintaining the protected person’s autonomy as much as possible

A guardianship may also be used to protect the legal rights of a minor in the event that a parent is no longer able to act on behalf of his or her child. A minor may be eligible for a legal guardianship if his or her parent cannot provide adequate shelter, does not have a steady income, suffers from an illness or is otherwise unable to provide adequate care.

At Neal Ashmore, our firm can assist you in the creation of a guardianship to protect an individual you love.
