Protecting the Well-Being of Those Who Need It Most
When a minor child or an incapacitated adult cannot manage their own care or finances, establishing a legal guardianship may be necessary to ensure their safety, health, and future security. At Jeffrey Orr Law, we assist families with the guardianship process, offering compassionate guidance and experienced representation every step of the way.
We understand that pursuing a guardianship is often an emotional decision, and we are committed to helping you navigate the legal system with clarity and care.
What is a Guardianship?
A guardianship is a legal arrangement in which a court appoints an individual or institution to make decisions for someone who cannot do so themselves. Guardianships typically fall into two categories:
- Guardianship of the Person: Appointing someone to make decisions about the individual’s personal needs, including healthcare, education, and daily living.
- Guardianship of the Estate: Appointing someone to manage the individual’s financial affairs and property.
Guardianships are commonly established for minor children whose parents are unable to care for them, or for adults who are incapacitated due to age, illness, or disability.
