GUARDIANSHIP

Adults who are unable to make certain legal decisions for themselves may be appointed a guardian by the court to make the decisions instead.

Parents of children with disabilities who are about to turn 18 years old should consult with an attorney to determine whether such a guardianship is advisable.

Children may be appointed guardians to care for and make decisions for them.

Legal parents can agree to or contest the petition for guardianship.

Not every adult has the ability to manage his or her own financial, health, and educational decisions. OneLaw assists clients in seeking a full or limited guardianship to make certain decisions instead. Also, not every child has an available and appropriate parent. OneLaw helps clients seek guardianship of the minor in these circumstances.
