A guardianship is typically sought when an elderly or incapacitated person is unable to handle his or her finances and personal affairs.
When the guardianship is appointed, the guardian assumes responsibility for the person's finances, health and safety.

Would Your Loved One Benefit From a Guardianship?
Gerry can discuss your family's guardianship needs with you. To establish a guardianship, the court will have to be petitioned and medical evidence will need to be presented.
If it is determined by the court that the individual is unable to make decisions regarding their own finances or welfare, guardianship is granted. The types of people who may need a guardianship include:
- An elderly loved one who suffers from dementia or Alzheimer's
- A younger adult with mental health issues
- A younger adult with special needs
Typically, our firm with spouses and adult children who are concerned about the welfare and best interests of their spouses and parents. We understand this may be a difficult time for you and your family. We provide the personal service and quality care that our clients truly deserve.
Guardianships can be contested. Physician testimony is considered in these proceedings. Our firm also represents people who are contesting proposed guardianships.
