What is a Guardianship?

Question:     What is a guardianship?

Answer:    Guardianship is a process by which a court appoints someone to protect the health and financial security of an incompetent or incapacitated individual who is no longer able to adequately take care of some or all of either their activities of daily living or their finances or both.   If you are concerned that someone you care about is no longer able to handle some or all of their personal care or finances, call Bach & Jacobs to discuss whether a guardianship or another lesser restrictive alternative may be an appropriate option.
