Guardianships and Capacity
Compassionate Estate Litigation Lawyers assisting with Guardianship & Capacity Issues
Guardianship and capacity issues often lie at the heart of disputes over wills and estates. Generally, these issues will either involve an individual wanting to be appointed a guardian for someone who they suspect is incapable of making decisions related to finances, property, or personal care, or will involve an attempt to remove a person who is already in that guardianship role.
In most cases, these disputes are emotional and can be very stressful. It is advisable to consult with a lawyer with targeted and specific experience in this area in order to understand your obligations and protect your loved one, their estate, any potential beneficiaries, and yourself during what is often an emotionally draining process.
