Minneapolis Attorney Assisting with Guardianship PetitionsWhen a family realizes that an elderly or incapacitated relative can no longer live safely and 
independently, it's important that they take action to protect the individual. This can be achieved by petitioning a court for a guardianship. Having handled a variety of estate planning and elder law issues for nearly twenty years, our lawyers at the Press Law Office, PLLC, are dedicated to helping families and individuals take care of those family members who can no longer effectively care for themselves. Many clients that come to us are the son, daughter, sibling, niece, nephew, or other relative of the individual who is in need of protection. We work closely with family members to ensure that the proper information is gathered to thoroughly prepare the detailed paperwork required by the court. In addition to helping families that are caring for elderly individuals, we also help parents of disabled children who are about to reach their age of majority. Once a child turns 18, parents may have a difficult time obtaining necessary medical information due to increasingly strict HIPAA laws. By establishing a guardianship, parents can retain the control they need over disabled children and can continue to actively participate in their medical care, day-to-day care, and other decision-making. Though we handle contested guardianship cases in which family members are uncertain regarding who will provide care for the individual, our goal is to reach a solution that is amicable and ensures the individual's best interest. We help families understand what needs to be done in order to get mom, dad, or other elderly family member the care he or she needs. Conservatorship While a guardianship involves physical care of an incapacitated person, a conservatorship protects financial assets. Typically, a guardianship and conservatorship can be created at the same time. When you speak with one of our lawyers, we can assess your situation and we can explain your options for obtaining a conservatorship.
