Guardianships

Addison and Dallas, Texas, Guardianship Lawyer

Guardianship laws provide a powerful tool for the arrangement or pre-arrangement of legal powers and duties in three situations:

• Guardianship of elders who have or may become incapacitated
• Guardianship of adult children who are unable to fully care for their affairs
• The pre-arrangement of guardianship of children by other in the event of the death or incapacitation of the children's parents

Lawyer Justin Wallace has helped individuals and families solve their legal challenges, including challenges relating to guardianships. We can:

• Create guardianships to facilitate the care and manage the assets of elder family members. Often, an older mother, father or other relative needs the care of a nursing home or similar facility, and is no longer able to care for their home or manage their assets. A legal guardianship can allow family members to manage the care of elder family members and manage and protect their assets.
• Create guardianships for adult children who cannot fully care for themselves. Once mentally handicapped or special needs children reach adulthood, or an adult child experiences a medical issue that prevents him or her from taking care of affairs, the establishment of a legal guardianship can grant parents or others the authority to obtain care, manage assets and work to ensure that resources are available in the future.
• Arrange for the guardianship or conservatorship of children if the children's parents die or become incapacitated. By arranging for the care of your children by a predetermined legal guardian, you decide who raises your children, not the courts.

Do not assume your children will be cared for by the people you hope or think will care for them in the event of your death or incapacitation. Do not risk loss of assets by leaving control of wealth in the hands of family members who are no longer able to competently manage their affairs. And do not struggle to arrange for the care of family members without the legal authority of a guardianship.
