Guardianships – The Process

Our job is to make the process easiest for you. We do more than just prepare the documents to establish a legal guardianship. Except for the documents that the court will mail out to obtain information from employers, schools and character references, we will send notification to all the parties who are required to be notified of the matter by mail and we will provide proof to the court. Prior to the hearing, we will check with the court to make sure everything is in place so your time isn’t wasted and you have legal authority to take care of your loved one.
