Process can be an obstacle, or it can be a path. The difference is in the presentation.

Need meets solution

The need for a guardianship or conservatorship arises in as varied circumstances as there are stars in the sky. A young person reaches the age of majority, but requires the continued assistance of parents or siblings. A person suffers an injury in an accident and loses the ability to manage funds or make crucial life decisions. A person’s abilities decline because of normal aging processes or a stroke, and becomes unable to manage money or live independently.

The care and assistance of a guardian or conservator can make the impossible possible. A court-appointed guardian or conservator can help make decisions about the person in need of a guardianship or conservatorship to preserve health, independence, and meaning.

Making the complex simple

Asking for a guardianship or conservatorship can seem challenging. Documents must be prepared, attorneys may be involved, a hearing before a judge, and a doctor’s opinion must be sought. The guardian or conservator must learn the responsibilities and obligations, perform the job 365 days each year, and report to the court every year. But you don’t have to go it alone. We have consulted experienced people who know a lot about guardianships and conservatorships. We’ve developed instructions that are designed to be understood, not only by attorneys, but by the people who will use them. We’ve created an interview to help you gather the information needed to create the documents. And when a question is answered for one document, the answer is used to complete all of the other documents. It isn’t magic, even if it sometimes seems magical. It isn’t legal advice; that is what attorneys are for. It is a guided interview that provides you with information in context, where you need it. It is a little like directions for a hike. Reading ten pages of instructions before the hike begins simply means you are likely to be lost along the way. Turn-by-turn instructions tell you what you need when you need it.
