Guardianships & Conservatorships

It is important for those who cannot advocate for themselves to have proper representation. The attorneys at Rooney McBride and Smith, LLC specialize in both guardianships and conservatorships for adults, minors, and those with disabilities in need.

RMS has attorneys who specialize in guardianship and conservatorship for adult and juvenile individuals in need. When older adults become unable to care for their own health, finances, and everyday affairs, guardianship and conservatorship proceedings appoint someone trusted to carry out those tasks for them. Guardianships and conservatorship are also important to protect minors who do not have a natural parent or guardian who is meeting their needs and for special needs individuals with reduced capacity.

Depending on whether there is an enforceable power of attorney, the severity of the ward or protectee’s impairment, and the specific circumstances of your case, you may be an appropriate individual to file to serve as a guardian or conservator of an adult or juvenile loved one, or you may have cause to object to someone who is proposing to so serve. Call the experienced professionals at RMS today to find out what your rights are and how the process will likely work in your circumstances.
