Guardianships

Chicago Guardianship and Estate Planning Lawyers

Do you have a family member who is unable to make important financial and personal decisions on his or her own?

Through a guardianship, one individual is given the legal responsibility to make important decisions on behalf of another. Guardianships are typically used when an individual is disabled, elderly and unable to make decisions alone, or a minor child.

When Are Guardianships Appointed?

Guardians are appointed in cases where one individual is unable to make sound decisions regarding his or her health, finances, or life in general. Guardians can be appointed when an individual is:

• Mentally, developmentally, or physically disabled
• Elderly
• Under the age of 18 (minor)

A guardianship is established to protect the interests of a person who may not be able to make solid decisions on his or her own. In any guardianship, it is important that the appointed guardian is trusted not only by the incapacitated, but also by his or her family.

We can also help you with powers of attorney / living wills.
