Establishing a guardianship is a legal process which gives one person legal authority to manage the personal and financial affairs of another person who is deemed incapacitated. The process of setting up a guardianship can be complex and multifaceted. If a close family member is no longer able to care for their children, you may need to step in to provide the support your grandchildren or nieces and nephews need. As with all Family Court decisions, the best interests and well-being of the children are paramount. We can help you protect your loved ones through a guardianship.
The Dickerson Law Group can help you set up a guardianship to protect the interests of a loved one. To learn more about the specific requirements for becoming a legal guardian, contact a Las Vegas guardianship lawyer today.
Guardianships for Minors
When parents can no longer provide care for a child, a family member or trusted source can step in and assume the duties of a guardian. Drug or alcohol dependency, military deployment or the death of a biological parent can necessitate a guardianship role. A guardian can be designated for a set period of time if the parents are temporarily unable to provide care for the child. Our firm represents individuals who are seeking to step in as a guardian. We also represent parties contesting a guardianship in a guardianship dispute.
Guardianships for Incapacitated Adults
A guardianship may be an appropriate option to protect the interests of an adult who is unable to make sound decisions about important matters. An elderly family member may benefit from a guardianship, as well as a younger adult who is mentally incompetent. A guardian can attend to financial matters, day-to-day decision making and other matters.
