Guardianship can be complex, but with the help of our knowledgeable local attorneys, you can navigate each step confidently.

Understanding Guardianship

Guardianship allows a responsible adult to make legal decisions for a minor or incapacitated person. It’s a way to ensure their safety and well-being without taking away their independence. The guardian ensures their ward has proper care, a safe place to live, and is protected from harm.

Responsibilities of a Guardian

As a guardian, your primary role is to ensure the ward's needs are met, including their living situation, health care, and daily necessities. While you won’t typically manage their finances (that's the conservator's role), you may need to cover costs if the ward’s assets are insufficient.

Filing for Guardianship in Dalton Gardens

To begin the guardianship process in Dalton Gardens, you’ll need to file a petition with the court. A court-appointed attorney will represent the ward, and an investigation will determine if guardianship is necessary. Once approved, you’ll receive official Letters of Guardianship.
