Guardianship

Guardianships are necessary when a loved one can no longer manage their own affairs, and they have not executed a Durable Power of Attorney or a Healthcare Power of Attorney. Guardianships are both time consuming and costly, requiring psychological evaluations, court hearings and investigations, annual training and annual reporting to the local probate court. Having a properly executed Power of Attorney and Healthcare Power of Attorney can avoid the need for a Guardianship.
