Guardians must act in the best interest of the ward. They may need to report to the court regularly about the ward’s status and the continued need for guardianship.
Becoming a guardian involves a legal process that includes:
We can assist with each step, making sure all legal requirements are met and advocating for the guardian and the ward.
A personal story that illustrates the impact of guardianship is “Emily,” a Kenosha resident whose elderly mother “Margaret” was showing signs of dementia. Emily was concerned about her mother’s safety and well-being, so she contacted our guardianship attorneys for help. We guided Emily through the process, from filing the paperwork to representing her in court. Ultimately, Emily was appointed as her mother’s legal guardian and could make decisions for her mother’s care and finances. This guardianship allowed Margaret to have stability and support in her later years, and Emily had peace of mind knowing she could legally protect her mother.
Guardianship is a big responsibility that can provide care and protection for those who can’t care for themselves. Whether you’re considering guardianship for an elderly family member, an adult with special needs, or a minor child, our Kenosha guardianship attorneys are here to help. We’ll guide you through the process and advocate for your loved one.
