Guardianship Proceedings

When an adult loses the capacity to manage their own affairs due to dementia, injury, or disability—and no Power of Attorney is in place—the court must intervene. Guardianship is a legal proceeding before the Clerk of Superior Court to declare a person incompetent and appoint a guardian to make decisions for them.

Protecting Vulnerable Loved Ones

This is a sensitive and complex process involving medical evidence and court hearings. We represent families petitioning for guardianship to ensure their loved ones are safe and their assets are protected. We also represent adults who wish to contest a finding of incompetency or seek restoration of their rights.
