Caring for loved ones who can no longer care for themselves is stressful and demanding, but this type of loving work is extremely important. I give careful consideration to all of the facts when working with my clients to determine whether a guardianship for their aging parents, disabled family members, or other incapacitated loved ones is appropriate or if a less restrictive alternative may address the issues at hand. We will develop a plan, whether it be guardianship or a less restrictive alternative, so you can get back to what you do best—loving and caring for your family.

Guardianships are a great way to care for a vulnerable family member, whether the family member is a special needs child, aging parent, or incapacitated adult. A properly structured guardianship will allow you to take on physical, medical, and daily responsibilities in a way that permits you to better care for your loved one while preserving as many rights and as much dignity for the protected person as possible. Limited guardianships allow you to step in and help out just in the areas you are needed.

I am a certified Attorney Ad Litem, and Probate Courts appoint me to represent proposed Wards in guardianship cases.  Additionally, I am a licensed Private Professional Guardian who is often appointed by Probate Courts to serve as Guardian of the Person and/or Estate when there is no suitable family member or other individual available to be appointed, so I am intimately familiar with the guardianship laws, alternative options, and strategies to care for your loved ones and ensure they are not victims of abuse, neglect, or exploitation.

If you are considering a guardianship for your loved one, please discuss your options with me first. I can walk you through what a guardianship will look like in your specific situation and give you the tools you need to decide if this is the right option for you and your loved one.
