A guardianship is a legal court proceeding in which a guardian is appointed to exercise the legal rights of an incapacitated person or minor, also referred to as a ward. A guardian can be either an individual or an institution, appointed by the court to care for a ward or the ward's assets.
At Earp Cohn P.C., our guardianship practice includes:
• |
Appointing guardians for children who are no longer in their parents' care for any number of reasons, such as a physical illness, death, military deployment, drug or alcohol problems, or child neglect. |
• |
Representing individuals who wish to assume guardianship responsibilities, or appointing guardians for individuals who cannot take care of themselves due to mental as well as physical reasons. |
Guardianship appointments and guardianship litigation go hand in hand. The lawyers at Earp Cohn P.C. provide legal representation in the areas of contested and non-contested guardianships, which may include disputes over whether an individual needs a guardian, or conflict over an attempted appointment of a particular guardian.
