Who can benefit from a guardianship?
Similar to conservatorships, guardianships offer financial and personal protection to people who are unable to care for themselves. These people can include children, special needs adults, elderly and incapacitated adults suffering from Alzheimer's Disease, dementia and other medical problems. If you are unsure if a guardianship is right for your loved one, or if you would like assistance with the legal process of obtaining a court appointed guardianship, our legal team would be happy to help.
In California, guardianships can be established over a person's estate and over their personal affairs. A different person can be named for each. Our firm regularly handles matters involving estates, including probate and litigation that arises. We take time to offer you a comprehensive view of the guardianship, how that guardianship affects your loved one and how an estate plan or relevant documents can protect your loved one.
The Stevenson Law Office represents people who wish to establish guardianship over a loved one due to the following:
- Minor child whose parents have died or are unfit to care for the child
- Special needs adult
- Elderly person with Alzheimer's Disease, dementia or other mental or physical impairment
- Any other incapacitated individuals
For people who are caring for a young child, they may further wish to establish legal custody of that child. By establishing custody, you obtain custodial rights and are given power to make decisions on the child's behalf.
