The need for a guardianship of a person and/or estate can arise due to age, mental incapacity, etc. A guardianship may be necessary for a person who becomes incapacitated and never executed a financial or health care power of attorney designating another individual to take care of these needs.

The need for a guardianship of a minor may arise in the case of a death of a single parent who did not make a Will for the care of a child by an estate plan document.

Many changes have occurred in the laws since 2006 regarding guardianships. If you believe a person may be in need of a guardian, contact Kuehn Law Offices, LLC for assistance.
