Guardianships Lawyers

Establishing and ending guardianships is often a complex process that requires a court petition and can be better completed with the assistance of a professional lawyer on your side. At Chandler, Mathis, & Zivley, we can assist you in all areas of legal guardianships. We understand that planning for the future often requires a level of legal astuteness that only a professional guardianship lawyer can provide.

There are several types of guardianships that can be formed and they include:
Limited guardianships- Where the ward is of sound mind and able to make responsible decisions, limited guardianships are appropriate.

• Co-guardianships- Consists of two guardians who are often put into place and serve as a balance of power to avoid theft and other illegal acts.
• Guardians of property- Are normally enlisted to manage the finances of a ward.
• Guardian ad litems- Typically appointed to protect the legal interest of the ward in legal hearings and proceedings.
