Conservatorship / Guardianship
Kissinger & Fellman attorneys offer a range of services relating
to guardianships and conservatorships. If an elderly person or family
member is self-neglecting, refuses appropriate medical care or is
the victim of financial exploitation, a court may appoint an adult
person, usually a family member, as guardian for the individual
or as conservator for the individual’s assets. A guardianship
or conservatorship may be either limited or unlimited depending
upon the degree of impairment of the individual.
Our attorneys are experienced in designating guardians or conservators
for individuals who are incapacitated by reason of degenerative
age conditions, accidentally-caused conditions or because of a developmental
disability, or who are unable to make decisions relating to their
care and/or management of their assets. Specifically, our attorneys
are involved in establishing guardianships and conservatorships,
legal counseling and advising guardians and conservators in their
administrative duties, and addressing issues relating to contesting
of guardianships and/or conservatorships.
