Mentorship, guardianship and receivership

Is your loved one unable to make important decisions for themselves? Are you dealing with financial issues that require professional guidance? Or are you wondering how to provide legal protection for someone who can no longer look out for his or her own interests?

When someone is unable to care for themselves due to mental or physical disability, age, or other circumstances, it may be necessary to arrange for legal protection. Guardianship, conservatorship, and receivership put your loved one's best interests first. Our family law attorneys specialize in guiding you through these often emotional and complex processes. You can contact us for a guardianship attorney, conservatorship attorney, or if you have questions about guardianship.

What is the difference between guardianship, conservatorship an receivership?

• Guardianship: Does your loved one need help with personal decisions such as care and treatment? A guardianship attorney can guide you through the process of applying for guardianship and help your loved one with important care issues.

• Administration: If someone is unable to manage his or her financial affairs, a conservatorship attorney may be called in to assist in filing for a protective conservatorship. A conservator will then manage the person's assets.

• receivership: This is the most extensive form of legal protection, where the guardian makes both personal and financial decisions for someone. Our professionals can advise you on the terms and consequences of receivership.
