Guardianship And Conservatorship  Attorney In Rancho Palos Verdes, California

 A guardianship arrangement allows for an appointed individual to make important decisions on behalf of a person who is unable to do so themselves due to various reasons such as being a minor, having an intellectual disability, or experiencing incapacitation from another condition. In addition to managing the ward's financial affairs, the guardian also has the authority to make decisions regarding medical treatment, safety concerns, and living arrangements. However, obtaining guardianship is not an easy process and requires a court to first declare the ward incompetent. This decision is not taken lightly and takes into consideration the individual's health, mental condition, ability to care for themselves, and manage their finances.
