GUARDIANSHIPS
The best way to prepare for a loved one's incompetency is to plan ahead and have a power of attorney in place. However, many people have not had the opportunity to do so, or perhaps your loved one has never had the capacity to draft a power of attorney. For whatever reason, if you are now faced with a loved one who has lost or never had the ability to care for him or herself or to make his or her own decisions, he or she will likely need a legal guardian appointed to manage his or her affairs.
When faced with this tough situation, you need an attorney who will come alongside you, and guide you through the process with compassion and integrity. From filing the petition to have a loved one declared incompetent, completing the paperwork allowing you to be come the guardian, and assisting or doing the recordkeeping and making an accounting to the courts each year, Abigail will help you through the entire guardianship process.
