Guardianships

The need for a guardianship of a person and/or estate can arise due to different reasons.  A guardianship may be necessary for a person who has become incapacitated and had never prepared financial or health care powers of attorney designating another individual to take care of their needs.  Under certain circumstances, a minor child or a person that has been determined to be a spendthrift may need a guardianship action commenced for someone to handle their financial affairs. 

There have been many recent changes in the laws of the state of Wisconsin governing the various types of guardianship which will take effect before the end of 2006. If you believe a guardianship may be needed, or a health care professional has recommended guardianship of a person you care about, Kuehn Law Offices, LLC can review the situation with you and assist in the prepartion and filing of the necessary documents.
