Pleasants Law Firm Focused Elder Guardianship Services
If an elderly client does not have a Power of Attorney (POA) in place, or is not competent to create a valid POA, a family member may petition to act as the elderly person’s legal guardian.
Guardianship involves proving to the court that the person is unable to effectively handle his or her affairs. Disputes can arise as to who should be guardian or whether a guardian is needed at all. We have experience working with families to resolve those disputes and getting the best person appointed as guardian.
