Guardianships & Conservatorships

Guardianship

Physical and cognitive impairments due to disability or age present challenging issues. Health care decisions, living arrangements and financial management will often fall on family members and loved ones. Unfortunately, estate planning documents such as powers of attorney and health care proxies often do not exist for an impaired person. In those cases, it is sometimes necessary to obtain authority from a court to assist a disabled person with his or her day-to-day decisions. Machado & Carden represents clients seeking guardianships and conservatorships over individuals who can no longer manage their personal or financial affairs. The firm's lawyers navigate clients through the complicated world of guardianship when it is necessary to make the legal and financial decisions for an incapacitated person. The firm offers complete guardianship and conservatorship services—from gathering initial evidence through the final appointment. Machado & Carden was founded in 2001 on the principle that elderly and person with disabilities deserve quality legal representation at every stage of their lives.
