Guardianships & Conservatorships

When one individual is named as a protector of another individual’s finances, that’s a conservatorship. Very often the other person is elderly or unable for some reason to manage his or her own money. So the conservator makes these decisions.

A guardianship goes further than a conservatorship, naming one individual to help make all of another person’s (the ward’s) life decisions. Very often, the ward is either very young or disabled. The guardian then makes decisions about education, medical issues and where to live.

  • This law firm is great! Everyone is friendly and helpful. Karen is awesome at staying on top of things. Unlike many law firms that don't call you back, this law firm makes sure that communication is their standard. I have had the pleasure of using Karen's, and Mary's services.

  • We used Brandon Family Law Center for on two occasions, a guardianship and an adoption. In both cases the staff was professional and attentive to our inquiries and requests. We will definitely use this law firm for our legal needs, in the future.
