Guardianship

Illinois Guardianship Lawyer

If a loved one has been incapacitated by illness or accident, he or she should have a legal guardian. Guardianship is determined by a probate proceeding. It is necessary when the incapacitated person did not have powers of attorney or advance directives that provided instructions on the steps to take in case of such a situation. We have more than 20 years of experience helping people obtain guardianship over a loved one. We can put our experience to work for you.

There are two types of legal guardians. The first is guardian of a person. This provides you legal standing to make important decisions regarding the healthcare and treatment that your loved one receives. The second type is guardian of an estate. This provides you power to make decisions about your loved one’s assets and property. Both types of guardianship can be held by the same person, or each can be provided to a different person, depending on the needs of your loved one.
