A Guardianship is like a Conservatorship, but it applies to minor children rather than adults. A Guardianship is necessary when a parent is unable to care for their child or children. A Guardian is appointed by the Court to make personal decisions such as housing, education, and medical decisions. Sometimes, when a minor receives an inheritance or other sums of money, a guardian of the estate may also be required to manage the assets until the minor child attains adulthood.
At Gold Law, our attorneys will assist you in nominating your most trusted family member(s) or friend(s) to serve as the guardian for your minor children should the need arise. A comprehensive estate plan will give you peace of mind in knowing that the Court will receive notice of your wishes as to who should care for your children if you are unable to do so.
If a conservatorship or guardianship is unavoidable, our compassionate and experienced attorneys will guide you through the complexities of this process and help ensure your loved ones’ interests are cared for and protected.
