If someone does not have a designated patient advocate and can no longer make informed decisions because of a medical condition, then you may need to file for a guardianship.
If someone does not have a designated agent under a durable power of attorney and can no longer manage their assets, then you may need to file for a conservatorship.
We can help you navigate the legal process to get a guardian and conservator appointed.
Grand Traverse Guardianship and Conservatorship Lawyer
To appoint a guardian and/or conservator, there needs to be a court order. To get a court order, you need to gather evidence, file a petition, submit other required forms, provide proper notice, and attend one or more hearings. Contested matters can take many months to complete. Further, a final hearing on the matter might be in front of a jury. Representation by an elder law attorney in the process can make a huge difference.
