GUARDIANSHIP
Sometimes guardianship is appropriate and necessary when a disabled person, known as a “ward”, lacks the ability to make responsible medical and financial decisions for oneself usually as a result of a physical or mental disability. Guardianship is the legal process by which the court appoints one or more individuals to manage the person and/or property of a ward who can no longer make such medical and/or financial decisions on his or her own. At D’Alessio Law, we are able to assist clients with all stages of the guardianship proceedings for both guardianship of an adult disabled person or a minor.
