What is a Legal Guardian?

When you become a legal guardian, you are given the right to do certain things for the person in your care. For instance, becoming a guardian might mean that you are allowed to help someone with his or her finances, or it could mean that you have gained the ability to make all legal decisions for them.

Who Needs Legal Guardianship?

You might consider trying to become a legal guardian in the following cases:

• If an elderly relative or friend has trouble caring for themselves and needs help paying their bills, keeping their house in good order, or caring for themselves. Guardians may also make decisions about putting elderly and disabled people in nursing homes or assisted living units.
• If a minor has been awarded a large sum of money but has no reasonable and trustworthy adults to help them make positive financial decisions.
• If your grandchild or other young relative has lost their parents due to death, or the child is not being cared for by parents who have trouble with substance abuse or mental illness. You can may become a legal guardian for a minor without taking rights away from their parents.
• If you have adult children who are mentally handicapped and will still need your help on a day-to-day basis after they reach 18 years of age.

There are many other cases in which you might need to consider legal guardianship. Our attorneys can help you find and obtain the proper legal guardianship path for your unique situation.
