Norman, Oklahoma, Conservatorship Attorney
A legal guardian, or ward, is a person who is selected to manage the health care and/or finances of a child or adult with special needs. Children may be in need of a guardian for many reasons, including:
- Domestic abuse
- Drug abuse
- Neglect
- Parents are unfit
- Caretaker has become incompetent
You do not have to be the legal caretaker of a child to request that a guardian be appointed. If you are a concerned family member or friend, I will personally guide you through the guardianship request process.
Adult Guardianships in the Oklahoma City Area
Similar to applying for a guardianship over a child, guardianships for adults can be requested by family members and nonfamily members. As an Oklahoma estate planning lawyer, I will properly apply to the court for approval of your guardianship plan if someone you know is incapable of managing his or her own affairs.
It is important to have a guardian in order to ensure that someone is able to make the serious medical and financial decisions that impact an incompetent adult's life. These decisions include trips to the doctor, surgery, paying bills and dealing with bank accounts.
