If your loved ones are not able to make their own decisions with respect to healthcare, lifestyle or finances, it may be necessary to have a Guardianship and/or Conservatorship in place. A guardian is a person appointed by the court who is responsible for decisions with respect to your loved one’s health, lifestyle and living situation. Whereas a conservator is a person appointed by the courts who protects and manages your loved one’s financial matters. A Guardianship and/or Conservatorship may be necessary for a disabled person, an elderly parent who is vulnerable or an elderly parent who is afflicted with Dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. A guardian and conservator might also be appointed over a minor child who has lost their parents or inherits a sum of money. Hedtke Law Firm will assist you in petitioning the courts to appoint a responsible person as the guardianship and/or conservatorship of your loved one. This can be a difficult process and situations and questions will arise that Hedtke Law Firm can help you with.
