Guardianship

Protecting Those Who Need It Most with Compassionate Guardianship Services

Guardianship is a legal process that empowers a responsible individual to make decisions on behalf of someone who is unable to manage their own affairs due to age, disability, or incapacity. At Tina James Law, we understand the sensitive nature of establishing guardianship and are dedicated to providing compassionate and professional guidance throughout the process.

Understanding Guardianship

Guardianship is typically necessary when:
  • Minor Children: Parents are unable to care for their children due to illness, incapacity, or death, and a guardian must be appointed to ensure their well-being.
  • Adults with Disabilities: Adults who are unable to make informed decisions about their personal, medical, or financial affairs due to physical or mental disabilities need a guardian to act in their best interests.
  • Elderly Individuals: Seniors who suffer from dementia, Alzheimer's disease, or other age-related conditions may require a guardian to manage their care and finances.
