Guardianship Law
Protecting Your Loved One's Financial and Personal Needs
The decision to seek a guardianship for family members may be difficult and sometimes complicated. However, the planning for the strong probability of incapacity is an important element of any estate plan.
It may become necessary to establish a guardianship for a variety of reasons. An elderly person may become incapacitated or a person may no longer be able to handle his/her own affairs or manage his/her property. In addition, a minor may lose their parent, inherit, or receive property.
Lynne W. Spraker is available to represent guardians and/or their families with all aspects of the court-supervised process.
